the end is not yet

Back is tender, but pain is minimal. The last pain spike was three hours ago. I have Tylenol 3's for those and so far they've been up to the task. Each spike feels like someone is squeezing my left side with a giant pair of vice grips just above my hips. Where as the original pain on February 14 was just in the lower back on the right side, this one started in the same spot on the left but eventually made it to the front.

I go back for the dye test on Wednesday morning.
