saw my back specialist today
I'm still at my sister's.
My pain level right at this second as I'm sitting in a chair is about a two. No big deal. But as I was getting out of bed half an hour ago and walking down the stairs, I would have said it was about a six then.
I think I'll be OK lying on the table for the MRI.
You'll be fine with your surgery. You know where to come when you need more info! It's impossible to learn everything ahead of time.

Good Morning Kelly,
Going from a 2 to a 6 makes me hurt. What time do you have to be there for your MRI? My cats will keep their paws crossed till you get home! Has your doctor been good about medication for pain? Are you able to take a muscle relaxer or does that even help? Meds are sometimes the lesser of the two evils but are difficult if you are working and may not be an option. Sigh...... back pain is so difficult to deal with. Until people experience that type of pain, it's difficult to describe.
Anyway, write and let us know only when you feel up to it I believe people depend on you more than you realize, Kelly. You are always calm and to the point in your answers. Thanks for being our Guru Girl!
