Way to go Kev! That is one proper breakfast. Life hack tip: there is no such thing as too much cheese and a third slice of bacon would have balanced the plate nicely. Jimmy's Juice goes GREAT on eggs. Oh, and is that a Great Value hash brown? Looks like one, they're the best out there.

I ate the third slice while getting it together Tom, thanks!
 
Good morning everyone. Just needed a break from screen time yesterday and spent most of the day reading a book while my husband was at church and just relaxing. As you guys know I have issues with my back and it started hurting again on Saturday so I just rested it all day yesterday yesterday and iced it off and on. It's still sore this morning but it's a little better. I hope you all had a great day!
Good morning Amanda. I'm sorry your back is bothering you again. Take it slow today.
 
mine I believe was minimum 3 months. the real issue is it takes away the back pain but since you don't have pain, you tend to work it worse rather than not so anything for a while. finding better sleep positions has helped me recover but when I do certain activities it gets aggravated again. simple things too like playing catch with the kids.
Pain deadeners are a real mixed blessing. For a few years I was having a problem where my right forearm and hand would lose all feeling randomly for ten or twenty minutes at a time. There was just no sensation at all. I could still use them for non-intricate things as long as I was watching them and concentrated on the movement but I had no feedback. I ended up straining my right thumb over and over dozens of times because I would do something and have no idea how much pressure I was using.
