Hi Janet! The medication the doctor has you on is for nerve pain. You had a lot of tingling and shooting pain (if I remember correctly) so he is having you take that along with the injection. Gary's uncle had to take it when he had a disk issue in his back, but Gary has never taken it. Gary's pain is just constant, not shooting or tingling. I think it's a good idea for you to be on it, and I think it's a good idea to NOT be bouncing around in the bus.
Janet, I not only pulled weeds today, but I mowed the yard too (with the John Deere, LOL!). Our real grass isn't growing yet, but the (what I call) trash grass is, so the yard was looking shaggy. Believe it or not, I had never actually mowed with the John Deere. We had a lawn service last year (and will have it again this year too) before I got the John Deere, so I only used the it to haul things around in the little trailer. The lawn company hasn't started mowing yet, so I decided to see if I could actually mow the yard! LOL! It took me exactly 15 minutes to mow our 1/2 acre. Not bad. If I didn't have so much weed eating and places where the John Deere can't go, I could do the yard myself. Nah! I don't want to do that! LOL!
