Hug
It has been almost a month since you gave me the hug. But thank you. For me, I am doing so much less, less than I used to do. And if I get better, I will be doing more and moving faster than my husband who is a truck driver and a lot of aches and pain.

Hug
Oh, what fun to see the dance recital. I am sure she was so excited. I am glad you were able to enjoy it. The celebrex has helped me alot, the pain level is a little lower. Good luck with it. Take care.

Hug
It awesome that you were able to get out and see family. Being in pain and being isolated at home makes it so much worse. I hope your weekend is going ok. I am doing better now. I had a discogram on Friday and it was painful.
