I agree with Rick. I've been thinking for some time now that your back troubles were stress related. Good that you got yourself some relief. Just be careful with the pain meds. They can become addicting.
If Rodney continues to be a source of pain and discomfort, perhaps you could self medicate by telling him to shape up or ship out!
