Hey Boo!

lol, I haven't been slacking (too much), just haven't been updating the log. I moved and haven't had Inet access for a couple weeks.

Been running often (I have no idea why!). 1.5 miles yesterday and 2 today.

Anyway, had an appt with the back specialist for Mon but had to move it to the next Mon (17th) cause I have a big client meeting this Mon. my doc told me that he thinks I should see the specialist but still is not sure surgery is the way to go. he explained that these injuries can take like 3 years to fully heal. UNREAL

I've been running a lot the last week or so. Going to the doc tomorrow - a back surgery specialist. We'll see what he says. I need to know the details before I make any decision. But man, this shit has to end.

Good Luck tomorrow KB

Going for a 2nd opinion Thursday. I'll reserve my comments til then.

Just went for a 7 mile bike ride. Felt good.

Sun, 8/20 UPDATE:

Went for a 2nd opinion and the results were the same, as expected. I really liked this last surgeon though and I have decided to do the surgery with him. I am getting another MRI on Tues morning so the doc can create a gameplan for the surgery. Hoepfully I will meet with him later this week and get this damn surgery on the schedule.

Overall I am happy and excited at the possibility at getting my life back. It will no doubt be a long road back and I will probably be starting at square one again with my training (and no squats!!!), but there is nothing but possibility and opportunity ahead.

I'll start a new journal to track my progress from surgery to health
