Sheeesh, yup like Mutt says stay here, let it get better by itself, It will give you time to make a new goal in your workouts, and imagine if you weren't in shape, it id be worse!
Regards man

My poor Nellie. Hope everything works out ok. Just think once you get all better, you will be able to see some more good results after not being able to lift for awhile. I haven't been able to go to the gym very often at all. I hate it but I gotta get used to it for the next three years. Hopefully I will be able to get in a little bit. I was thinking about buying a bowflex so I could try and squeeze in about 30 minutes before bed if I am not too tired after working 18 hours.

Look at it positive, you seem to have a good doc.
And like Mandre says, vent here if you need to.
Hey it could be worse, like -10 and a blizzard! added to that bad back!
