Back from physical therapy.
Did exercises and have exercises to do daily the next two weeks before re-evaluation.
I also had X-rays done. THE MOST PAINFUL part of my day, thus far. Cold metal table, no back support and various positions that hurt more than anything I could have anticipated. Still, they got a vast array of shots/positions, so whenever the X-rays are reviewed, they will undoubtedly show something that may help my recovery.
