Yeah, I actually managed to get all but one spine out that day thank goodness! The one that I couldn't get out hurt once in awhile but was tolorable, and it actually got inflamed a bit after we got back to Canada. That Said I gave it a Lil squeeze and it just popped out, and didn't hurt anymore!! It was painful to stand at the concert though, but gave me some brownie points with my new wife!! Thanks for reading, I will hopefully get started on week 2 one of these days, just been really really busy lately!!!!
