Jason is determined to go back to work next week. We have discussed it, and even though he is still experiencing pain, we have mapped out a trial activity plan to see if he can handle an entire day of work. Today, he walked to the end of our block and back and also vacumned the living room and hallway. After doing that, his pain isn't really worse, but he is tired and weak feeling. He wants to increase his activity over the next few days, so that by Monday or Tuesday, he'll be ready for a full day. Our van has been having problems, so he may try working on it this weekend. Since this is the type of work Jason does on a daily basis, this should be a good test--especially since bending over has been one of the most painful moves for him. We figure that if he can handle doing things around here this weekend without a relapse, he is probably ready for work. We talked to the doctor today, and as long as Jason feels ready to resume normal activities, the doctor is willing to release him.
Thank you for praying.
