I had my appointment with the doctor this morning. He said that if the witch doctor approves on Friday I can return to work next week. He also said that I should do a little bit of driving this week to get my back muscles used to it again.
The boss is going to come by and pick me up later today and take me over to the yard to get my truck. It's going to feel good to not have to depend on the taxi service to get around, and will feel even better to get back to work next week.
