Default 12 hours and counting

Hello, community.

I'm about 12 hours away from my L ADR ( 12/13 @ 7am @ TBI). Nerves are all over the place. I had a very strange experience this past Saturday and that I had absolutely no LBP. I was so confused and wondered if my mind was playing some sort of a trick on me

Today is a completely different experience I have a pain level that makes me want to just soak in a full tub of hot water b/c the leg pain is unbearable today.

I'll update soon.

Spine journey.

Hey SJ, I had these last minute cyclic changes too...many folks do. Is this your main concern? A reminder: you are among friends here! Hope you have a good sleep tonight!

I had a similar experience the day of my surgery. I had absolutely no pain the day of but it was probably just my "fight-flight" response kicking into high gear. Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted when you are up to it.
