diagnosis...

pulled ligament in my lower spine... and the spasms and severe pain was happening because when the ligament was stretched, it allowed the muscle to move where it wasn't supposed to, sometimes hitting a nerve...

in time, my body will heal itself... but i can do things to help the process along... like not lifting anything over 10 lbs, not bending at the waist, not twisting at the waist, not sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time, and by resting as much as i can...

i was cleared to go back to work, as long as i follow the above recommendations... and cleared to go to england!

if i'm not feeling any better in 2 weeks, i'm supposed to go back to start physical therapy... but if today is any indication, i think i'll be much better by then... today i just have a dull pain, and no spasms... so i feel lots better already...

yay, i'm not completely broken!

Yay, girl! Glad to hear you are on the mend. Let us know about your trip to England - try to locate some more good pubs, shouldn't be too hard!

Hi April,
I am glad to hear you are feeling well. George and I are thinking of taking a drive up to Washington DC and some of the areas around there this summer. I don't know our route, but if we can connect to you, where you are located in Maryland, we would like to visit with you, maybe take you to lunch or something. Thank you.and be careful.
