Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. They were appreciated.
Well, nothing broken. Doc loaded me up with muscle relaxers (take just
before bedtime), nsaids, and vicoden.
As much as I hate taking nsaids, I have to say they really help. Have been
walking around the house without my cane but can easily overdo that and have
to ice and rest. Actually got to take a shower today!! Yaaay! The dogs
really appreciated that!

Have not driven yet, but am thinking perhaps this weekend. Physical therapy
evaluation on Thurs morn. See doc again on Thurs. afternoon. Hopefully the
evaluation results will be ready by then. Am off work 'till further notice.
Have to apply for FMLA to cover the time. Can get by missing one paycheck,
but after that...  I do have 2 weeks of vacation time I can burn to help
cover missed work. Have a little sciatic involvement, especially after
sitting for awhile. Also get some numbness in my left toes and foot to go
with it.

Mike has been a willing helper as long as I tell him what needs to be done.
He cooked us steaks on the grill last night that turned out wonderfully. For
16 he is getting pretty good with cooking. He gets excited when he has the
opportunity to cook something new to him.
The dogs have been pretty sympathetic to my plight and do more nuzzling and
laying with me than usual. Cool.

Happy b'day to all the March celebrants! May this year be kind to you all.
