Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Oh, at this point it's not even an issue. My back just feels a little stiff for the first few seconds of standing after sitting for a while, then quickly loosens up. Contrast that to the meeting last week, where it took me probably a full minute to get out of my seat, I remained in discomfort for another 30 minutes, no matter how much standing and stretching I did. Like I said, MUCH improved.

I was just trying to live up to the image of my hero...the dude in my previous avatar. Obviously, I require much more grooming before I can be half as cool as he.

Sorry I'm joining in late, I've been in my own pain pill filled world for awhile now! I didn't join in here because my sentences weren't making sense any more so I certainly didn't want to confuse anyone here with my drug induced mistakes!

I'm so glad you are feeling better! That must have been a horrible scare for you and CP! Try not to overexert yourself for awhile.
