Medical Endeavors w/ my Herniated and Degenerative Lumbar Disc

My back is feeling stronger and stronger every day. I'd say that remaining 15% can be divided three ways: -5% in core strengthening -5% in nerves healing -5% in my own confidence in doing more things I still haven't gone jogging. I feel like i'm not ready yet, mainly because i've been hiding from exercising for the past 2 months. I promise i'll try in the next month.. i'm joining a gym here in Miami! Nerves are upset sometimes, but most of the time they are wonderful! They usually get upset after a long day of furniture shopping, nothing else. Overall, everything's great! I'm 100% better than pre-op. I've been out drinking and dancing, and the next day is bliss (except for hangovers of course!). I promise i'll get on that treadmill soon! If anyone has any questions, do let me know! I'll answer them ASAP.

I've been furniture shopping with my mom for my apartment in Miami. It hasn't been too nice on my back at the end of every day. It's not too painful but it is debilitating. A night's sleep calms it down 100% and i'm ready to do anything the next day. It's a wake up call. I'm not invincible. I am, in fact, still limited in my actions. I bet that a good 2 months of physical therapy/core strengthening will correct this though. I've been doing a few planks and what not and my abs are really hurting. They're a little weak because they haven't recovered but i'll be up and running for my next round really soon. Good luck to everyone.

I'm going to start doing core strengthening before I start jogging. So, starting today i'll start doing exercises, and i'll probably try to jog in two weeks. I've delayed this way too much; it's time to be a responsible person again.
