Sound off if you have had a ruptured disk in your back

They give me percocet and diazapam as well as an anti inflamatory meloxicam.

The first few times I had these meds I have to admit it was quite enjoyable.  The buzz from the first two was a great one and I only needed a few days to pull through a spasm.  I flew AH really well during those few days.  ;)  Now though I just want to be done with all the pills.  It puts me into a fog while I'm on them and last night I actually took one too many of the percocets (just because I really was in agony) and ended up hurling up the nice dinner the wife had made me.

I'm fed up with the whole thing.

I'm still in bad shape today.  Instead of being outside with the kids on a rare beautiful weekend I'm going to be stuck inside lying down.  Work is going really well with lots of new business coming in giving us the ability to hire some more people.  This back is making a great situation a nightmare because I am sitting at a desk most of the time.  Nowadays longer than ever.  But it is taking its toll on my back.

Luckily it isn't as exhausting as flying fighter planes.  :) I have no excuse that I cannot find the time to do the necessary exercise.  I don't have a pool but my father and sister do, so I think there will be a ton of swimming in my immediate future.  Both of them live within walking distance of work as well.

Mission impossible will begin as soon as I am over this spell.  Getting me back into shape.
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
