Okay guys. I spent most of today at Sparrow hospital all for an MRI. I had hoped to see Pete's wife, who works there but that didn't pan out. It would have been a good highlight of the day. Sadly, as many times happens, a lot of time was spent waiting. This was not a normal MRI either and I remember absolutely nothing about it because I was out cold. The nurses were great and the doctor too. They did notice the pain I was in so without asking, they gave me something to ease that and it helped.

This whole thing started many moons ago. Back in 1947 I had polio and was cripple from the waist down and not a whole lot better up top. Fortunately, I was never in an iron lung. But this left my back in not too good of shape. Fast forward to 1984 and one day, in a hurry, rather than taking the steps down off the loading dock, I jumped off. Wrong! Fast forward to 2012 and I fell backward off a trailer landing squarely on my back. Fast forward to December 2013 and I fell into our 4' deep well pit landing on my back right on top of the well pump.

A few guys knew I had some problems because some great guys came in early December (before the well pit mishap) to help me drop a couple dozen trees. I did not do much at all that day and nobody complained. Of course I wondered what they were thinking of me with them doing all the work, but it got done. I well remember that day and am still red faced over it as I felt terrible not being able to do much at all.

So this thing is both from a couple recent accidents plus the other problems. I don't know where this is going to take me but I am going the the Michigan State Spine Center to see if they can help. Have an appointment Monday.

Thank you for your concern and if anything great happens, I will let you all know. My lovely wife also thanks you. (People still look funny when I talk about her being my first wife!)
