Aaaauugggggghhhhh!!!

Since the beginning of 2011 - I have spent more days on crutches than off.  Finally got mobile again (still struggling with stairs) and then Wed. morning - BAM!  I was leaning over to pick up Jasmine our kitty and SUDDENLY my back went out.  BUT the good news is that I am doing pretty well 2 days later.  The last time my back went out like this - I was bedridden for 3-1/2 weeks.  Today I can get around without the crutches.  Kind of a catch-22 - need to strengthen my back muscles to prevent things like this from happening - but can't do much until I get better.  Supposed to get some physical therapy soon.  Could have been much worse - so I am thankful.
