I'm anxious. There, I said it. 

After almost two years of off and on back pain, it's finally come to a head. I have an MRI tomorrow and I'm really anxious to learn the outcome and the next step. Depending on what the doctors find, it could mean months of physical therapy or even surgery. 

My mother had surgery on her back on Christmas Eve two years ago. Then, I didn't really think much of it. Now that it's me, I'm scared. I'm trying to take on day at a time and not get super anxious about things that haven't even happened yet, but I can't help it.
