Things aren't so bad after all.

It was really nice to find out I am not as broken as I thought at my physical therapy appointment today. The therapist guy seemed pretty positive that I would be able to get back to a fairly pain-free form of existence if I do the things he prescribes. It seems like it is mostly just a bunch of stretches and stuff that should have the biggest impact. Improving my posture is also important. Now it's on me to do my part and make it all happen!
