Update and Thanks
Thanks everyone! Here's a quick, very unspecific update...

I made a decision last night and followed through with it today. But, that's now only the first of several that I will be making over the next few weeks. Please, don't worry. Trust me, it's nothing bad. It's a good thing and you know how impulsive I can be.

Other news
So the strangest thing happened to me at 4am this morning. I woke up with the absolute worst pain in my back. I don't think I slept weird. But, I couldn't move. I couldn't find a comfortable position and I couldn't get out of bed. There was no phone nearby and I was panicked. I have no idea what I did to myself. I finally found a position where the pain was somewhat bearable and fell back to sleep. This morning, I was probably entertaining to watch. I couldn't move. Do you know how hard it is to function when you can't bend - at all??? For example, I brushed my teeth, but I couldn't bend to spit out the toothpaste. Simple things like that! And how far do you really have to bend when brushing your teeth??? As the day has gone on, the pain has lessened, but it's still annoying. But, I'm now able to at least function at about 80%. Why me?
