The Dad I Want To Be!
I have a new appreciation for a healthy body, cause I haven't had one lately! About 3 months I was playing hoops, and got a partial tear in my rotator cuff. Than, about a month ago, I was playing soccer and hurt my back. From what they've diagnosed so far, it seems that I have a herniated disc in my lower back. What's worse is that either the nucleas pulposes or the anulus fibrosis (a.k.a. the disc) that is bulging out is pushing on my sciatic nerve, so my right leg is killing me (see image of disc pushing on nerve)!
I haven't been able to toss the frisbee with my kids, kick the soccer ball with my kids, run around the yard, or the park, or even wrestle with them in the living room! It's so frustrating because a lot of our bonding points are centered around doing those things together! I don't know what to do?!?!? Obviously there comes a day when your relationship with your sons moves beyond wrestling, frisbee's, and games, but it's not time for that yet!
I'm really praying that this thing gets fixed up because I miss doing these things with my boys! And by the way, I'm not picking up crafting or anything like that, so don't even suggest it! :-) I JUST WANT MY BACK TO GET BETTER so I can be a DAD again!!!! :-(
Pray for my back!

I feel you on that back pain. I've had a herniated disc in between my L4 and L5 spinal column for a few years now, and it has honestly evolved my personality. I've become more frustrated, tired, and quick-tempered because I've been living with constant pain. I really do feel for you and will continue to pray. I got chills reading your back pain problems
