Consider myself reprimanded cyberlly. THe shovel will only be handed to my son who needs alot of pushing (LOL). We have had so much snow and I feel so guilty about not being able to help out at all. I think we have had 7 major storms so far this winter and we are still in January. We are due for another inch today (nothing) then about 3 more inches over the weekend and then there is a prediction for more on Tuesday. This winter is crazy. I am trying to recuperate the right way by completing my stretching exercises, using the 5 pound weights and wearing the cervical stim 4 hours a day. I was not given a script for PT. MY OSS doesn't believe in that until at least the 3 month mark. I just figured I could go back to work at the 4 to 6 week mark. I am not sure due to limited ROM when I can go back to work. I am not at 7 weeks. Thankfully I have enough sick time in order to still receive my paycheck with that I would have gone back regardless of condition. The hold up for me is I can't drive for 20 -30 minutes without getting a muscle spasm or tightness in my neck and should areas. Added to that teaching all day and the drive home, I would be beyond sore. So at least I am behaving myself and not going back to work too soon. I have read posts of people going back between 2 and 5 weeks. I have been trying to catch upon items and doing productive things when I am bored, but can't seem to get enough concentration to complete them.

Thank you for the support and scolding. I will be BETTER
