Negotiation

So yesterday was my negotiation--er, meeting with my neurosurgeon over what I will be allowed to do after this latest invasion of my spine. It didn't go very well for me! Because it had to be redone, I am now under severe restrictions in every aspect of my world as to what I can do. Can't lift more than 10 pounds until my next visit...in 10 weeks! and I have to wear the brace until then as well. I do get to go back to work sooner than April, but that was the only point I won anything on...everything else was a loss. I still have to put my brace on for those middle of the night trips...ugh
