Dan got his MRI results back. He has a textbook case of a herniated (bulging) disc and needs only physical therapy, which he’s already started with a back specialist. (The first round of physical therapy wasn’t with a back person, so we’re hoping that this second round will be more successful.) The important thing is that he needs to avoid bending (hard to do) and lifting (including Joe) until the disc heals. Dan’s had a hard time not working on the house. It’s been a good lesson in patience for all of us!
