I'm so sorry to hear that your dad is having more pain, Staci. I hope the epideral helps.

Personally, as lazy as I can be, the thought that I actually HAD to rest and take it easy, made me do things I shouldn't have done. I guess I was mad at my body for betraying me. I got scolded a lot, so I finally gave in and let others do the work and treat me like a Princess. I hope your dad lets everyone put him on a pedestal and just relax. It takes time to heal. Remember to tell dad it's not like a scratch you can see, there's a whole lot of internal healing going on especially with a fusion.

Feel better Mr M! Prayers on the way!
