I have come close to just shutting down this swim blog because of my deteriorating physical condition. If I can just get myself out of the house and on the sand...then I can walk right in, and the buoyancy relieves pressure on the lumbar back. I was recently told by the ortho surgeon that among other things, the disc between L3 & L4 is a BIG problem. I want a surgery; I think they would do one fusion there, but everything is such a big friggin' process of approvals, alternatives, profits for providers, etc. I would like more of the good nerve blocks in the lumbar area now, but I think I'm getting delayed.
Adapting to not being able to work is extremely difficult for me.
