    My pain is lessened by 75%. Sometimes it is nill. A little worried about paralysis.

    I am enjoying not having to wear winter coats, scarves, gloves etc. Temperatures hitting 60 degrees most days. Some sun.

    I have gained weight from being so sedentary thanks to my back troubles. Boredom from being so sedentary causes me to snack. Yuck and shoot on the weight.

    I have been receiving God's comfort in that HE GET'S IT He knows my pain.
    He gives me tolerance.
    He has shown me some coping strategies.
    I have a plan. I am going to the health clinic Monday...not waiting for my gp to return. I will see any doctor but I will start the ball rolling for surgery.

    Toby kitty woke me up so sweetly this morning, licking and nudging me instead of biting me like usual. He is learning! I can hear the many birds singing and it is still dark outside. lovely!

    I don't know why exactly. I am grateful for so many things. That helps a mood a lot...gratitude. The sun has been out for two days and is expected again today! Pretty good for a rain forest. :)
