Back update

So, I have a herniated disc. Again, apparently I have the body of a 70 yr old. I'm still walking a little funny but it is improving very slowly. The suggestion from my doctor is surgery because I have no pain and my only symptom is neurological. There's a chance of definite nerve damage which is why surgery is the push right now. I've talked to a chiropractor who basically said, they'd do the exact same thing as physical therapy, which I am already going to start on Friday. The more research I do, I feel comfortable with the surgery. I have two highly recommended names of surgeons. I'm going to set a date with these two people this week because it will take a while to get in to them and just go to physical therapy until then. If its better by then, then we can cancel the surgery. If not, I guess I'm getting surgery.

On another note, I'm done with my classes and my school. My kids were so cute. They were like, "What are we going to do without you?!" and I looked at my teacher, who was still in the room, and was like, "I think you're going to be alright." Lol, they're so sweet. Makes me excited for student teaching this fall. Well, time to do some spring cleaning and go through my junk closets and drawers and get organized. I love doing this kind of stuff. Getting rid of old junk. I'm so not a pack rat.
