Put the surgery off for now. Four days after coming home from the hospital with 4 prescriptions, I was down to one pill one time a day (instead of four; that medicine was Oxycodone)) and then two days after that, I was completely off the meds. It's been a week and two days since I stopped taking any medicines and I have been pain free the entire time. This is definitely weird. It doesn't feel like it is better, but I don't know what to think of the zero pain now. Went to work yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks and came home sore (from not working and laying up), but not in back/leg pain.

I think I'm going to check with my employer on Monday about getting out of the truck and working in the office. I don't want to drive the truck anymore and take a chance and messing things up again if I am on the road to recovery. It'd be a pay cut, but it's not like I have really any bills so it's not that bad.
