Hi Sharon:
Like I said; rollercoaster ride. We got 25" of snow this past weekend. That makes 97" so far this season. I was walking down the steps of one of my business's properties and they had not shoveled the snow. I hit slush on the bottom step and almost went flying which totally wrenched my lower spine. I've been in major pain the past two days. I know I did not damage anything as I am almost 14 weeks out of surgery. It still hurts like hell with a spine that is still healing from major surgery. Recovery is sometimes 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
Hang in there and remember that God gives us no more than we can handle. Also our pain may help others some day as we learn so we can teach.
Terry Newton
