My back is almost back to normal.  Almost 3 weeks of not being able to do anything is torture.  I can now move without much pain.  I am going to give it another week before I start exercising just to be sure.  Then I think I will start out with walking.  At least I haven't gained weight since I've been hurt and to me that is a plus.  Haven't lost either but that doesn't surprise me.  I'm excited about being able to get around again.  We have a garden to plant soon.  I was able to start my seeds in doors, since it didn't hurt to sit and do that...thanks to hubby for helping.  I love this time of year..everything turning green.  Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers, it has meant alot.
