For how much pain I was in last time I herniated my disc, I’m surprised that I have recovered from the pain so quickly this time. I haven’t felt much pain at all today. I haven’t taken any pain pills either. I wonder if it is the steroid pills that are helping. My leg is still very numb, much more than last night. This is what makes me most nervous. I have tried to walk on it a lot today and Gracie was a sweetheart and massaged my calf muscle for over an hour tonight. It feels a little less numb and more like pins and needles so I’m hoping this is a trend and I can regain feeling quickly.

Rachel asked why I have had so many health problems the last few years when my patriarchal blessing states I will have good health throughout my life. That was definitely a good question that I didn’t have an answer for. That being said, one could say it is all relative and my health problems haven’t been that bad really. Nothing I haven’t been able to manage and work through up to this point.
