Update on Rodney's back

The other day Rodney moved wrong at work and it sent some sharp pains through his back so we decided to go get it checked out, even though it was feeling better from when the accident happened in the first place. The doctor felt his back and said it was a muscular pain but that he would take X-Rays just in case - since it was such a long fall. So they took FOREVER and did a bunch of x-rays of his back. The next day they called him and told him that he has 2 compressed fractures. AHH! I was so scared. So they recommended that he get a MRI on his spine to make sure it wasn't hurting or hadn't hurt his spinal cord. Well we went in and did that and it turns out that his spinal cord is fine which means he's going to be fine and we just have to wait and let it heal. But no surgery! yay. We were scared he was going to have surgery and have back problems forever... hopefully it will heal up right.
