My Aching Back

So I pulled something in my back recently. 

Had the worst sciatica pain down my hip and leg–could hardly walk or sleep from it. 

I went to the Orthopedist and he game me some meds for the inflammation and sent me for an MRI. 

Also, I went a number of times for acupressure, which was truly awesome. 

Came back to the Orthopedist and he asks how I am. 

I said:

Feeling a lot better, but the MRI shows a herniated disc. 

He says:

Go home and have a Happy Thanksgiving–we only do surgery to treat symptoms!

So I am truly happy that alls well that ends well. 

Thank you Hashem! 😉
