Haven’t done anything this week. It’s be come apparent that the tenderness in my back is not muscle soreness, but nerve pressure and pain. So this week I’ve done nothing physical, and spent as much time as possible horizontal, iced or stretching. So far, a little improvement. I’m going to continue for a few more days and then re-evaluate. If there’s no improvement, the likely next step is a visit to the doc and some physical therapy and/or an MRI.

I’m a pretty depressed about being laid up. I don’t want to go through the surgery & rehab process again. But I don’t want to live stiff and in pain either.

I did go to class last night. Updated everyone on my status, watched class, and gave Damian a picture of him and his son from the tournament last month.
