Hello My Friends,
The time has come where I have to take a mandatory break away from here. I'm hoping it be no more than a week at best, but I will know more by Tuesday. Tuesday is when I go get x-rays for my back.
I'm not one for crying or complaining about what bothers me very much if at all, so please no sympathy, or for that matter prayers either. I just figure you all needed to know something when I didn't do anything here for at least a week, so you wouldn't think I fell off the planet or something.
About three weeks ago, I injured my back, and for the life of me don't remember how, but it has been giving me round the clock fits. My first thought was a pulled muscle, but its been getting worse as the days go by. Yes, I'm a bit stubborn for ... yes, I should have seen a doctor sooner, but I held out hope this problem would go away. No such luck.
Three days ago, I bought a back brace and it seemed to help, a little, but I still have to fall asleep in a sitting position as laying down either on my side, belly or back just isn't working. I've tried heating pads, hot baths, those heating creams, etc.
So for now, at least until I find out from the x-rays what is going on, there will be no stories, poetry or even a Sunday song this week, and maybe longer, depending on what I find out.
I put a message on my page sort of outlining this. So, anyway, that's pretty much it for right now.
I will still check out the emails when you guys post something and respond when I can. This is something I have to deal with, be it good, bad or indifferent.
Meantime, ya'all be safe, stay strong and fight the good fight. I know I will.
Have a grand week, and catch you on the flip side.
Bill
