Back again

Pardon the pun in the title of this post. I didn't even realize it until I typed it in. The steroid shots for my back didn't work. Now I am in a phase where I'm trying to do the mind over matter thing. I'm telling myself that it doesn't hurt. The incentive here is that since nothing else worked, this better, or I'm headed for surgery. I don't like the sound of that. The surgeon says that it's not that bad, but what else would a surgeon say? I will wait about 3-4 weeks and then make a decision. I'm getting sick of blogging about this but it is always on my mind.
