quick update.... I'm getting to the point that I can get around pretty well... I'm down to 1000 mg of advil about twice a day now... generally at night to sleep and in the morn to get through the first few hours that hurt the most. I'm able to handle short trips to town with minimal complaints and am confident that I'll be able to make the 3 hour trip each way for my sister's wedding this weekend tho I may hit the advil a little more.
I AM going bonkers tho just sitting around... I have a solid month of work sitting just outside my door (boat, jeep, truck, jetski, and wrecked car) and not doing it just isn't me.. may try to do some light stuff in a day or so.... might regret it after LOL
