My back has been somewhat better over the last week, but I think it was mainly because of the drugs I was on for it. Now that the drugs are gone though, the pain is back just the same as it was before. :(

Luckily though, I got a call just before 5:00 today. It was the neurosurgeon's office asking if I could reschedule for Monday morning instead. Thus, I will be getting in much sooner than I had expected, which is a good thing. Hopefully they can offer some sort of solution that doesn't involve surgery.
