It's just after 10 PM here and I'm thinking seriously about going to bed!

I started Physical Therapy last week to help strengthen my back. I've got a pinched nerve and my doc hopes that the PT will do the trick.

So far, it is helping, a lot.

But I'm tired!

I haven't been working out the way I should and so I'm in lousy shape...nothing new there! But these PT folk are making me work!

I know it will be good.......eventually...Getting there ain't half the fun!

Ah, I sure do!

All of the above...

It's just if I go to bed now, I will be awake early.


Thanks, sweetie...

I've only been to two sessions so far, and I am much better!

A pinched nerve is probably the worst pain I have ever had, and it has essentially gone away since last week.

I could not be happier!

Thank you so much...

Those PT people can be real taskmasters, but I've found them to be universally incredible... both as
professionals and as people!!!

How nice to see you tonight!

I hope I feel better in the morning too...between my shoulder and my back, things have been shall we say interesting lately?

But the shoulder replacement will happen in January, and then that will be done.

My PT people are an incredibly nice bunch!

for being able to fall asleep at around 10PM; I usually don't get sleepy until at least 2AM (without ZZZ Quil).

I'm a night owl, and that's waaaaay too early!

I did stay up a bit longer than I'd planned, last night...went to bed before midnight.

We all have different rhythms...

I know how bad your condition can be from the little I've heard from friends and family but your attitude is perfect. Hang in there, you'll be happy you did and rest up as much as you want to.

I'm really amazed at how quickly the pinched nerve seems to be getting better!

And believe me, I take naps when I need them. They really help.

I've slipped a little. I really need to get back to that core work.

You are SO right! I am now doing core work, and my god. But it's doing the trick...I feel tons better.
