I'm back at work, feeling great, glad to be out of bed! It still hurts
to sit for more than 15 minutes so I stand...

I guess dancing was a bit much

Going in for back surgery. Finally.

The past seven days have been a blur of pain meds and naps... it started at Elsa's wedding last weekend...

Saturday, Dancing at the wedding:
My ruptured disc was finally feeling better... I should have spent the entire night siting in an ergonomic chair relaxing - but no - after a few drinks i was square dancing with Jana. At times it felt like slam dancing... we immediately agreed to take some form of dance lessons, cause "dancing shouldn't hurt".

Ohhhh but it did...

Sunday: soooo sore.

Monday: A dead-spot appeared on my left bum, about the size of a quarter.

Tuesday: Flew to San Francisco and back for business meetings. Popping pain pills - pain shooting down my leg.

Wednesday: Left bum is numb, numbness going down leg and into foot. Doctor orders a late night MRI.

Thursday: MRI worse than before. A quarter sized chunk of disc is crushing the nerve - operation a must. Doctor starts operation at 8pm - takes longer than expected.

Friday: Discharged from hospital at noon.

And who knows what day it is now... :-) The last few days have been a blur. I've been taking pain pills, getting lots of rest and working when awake... that's all for now... time for bed!

Just me and my trendy beverage enjoying our time together before a
flight to Portland.

Im kinda looking forward to my flight cause Horizon offers free wine
on their puddle jumpers. I can guzzle two glasses of merlot in 10 min.
Good skill to have.

Damn traffic
