6:18 a.m.

I had my first spinal treatment yesterday at 3:00.  The hardest part is staying flat on your back after for 6 hours.  The best part is they put you out while they do it and you stay out for about 4 hours.  So, really, we’re talking 2 hours – piece of cake.  I feel really good today.  I made a decision last night to be always up and positive! I was starting to get stuck in a ‘poor me’ mode.  I found an exercise bike on the floor above me, and I’m going to start excercising (walking the floors, push-ups,etc) other than the 45minute PT time each day.  Deana and I have not been out of the hospital for 2 full days.  We’re going crazy!  It’s tough with my walker, I’m pretty slow (and jerky). I told Deana I’d suck it up and grab a wheelchair just to get out.  Everyone keeps reminding you of 75 days for maximum improvement, but I’m hoping to see a little (even a small percentage) soon.  But then again, I still have 3 treatments left!  Well, gotta get ready for accupuncture…write later
