This journey of mine has taken yet another turn.  One more complication that has me back in my chair.  We took a
midnight ride to the emergency room because I had extreme back pain that started for no apparent reason.  The doctor did some tests to eliminate a kidney infection, since I had a urinary tract infection last week. He examined me and gave me a shot for pain and sent me home…I was loopy after that.  He feels that it is a strain of my lower back, so I am flat on my back until Monday.  I have some really strong medicine and muscle relaxers so I am out of it. 

Going between my bed and chair is something I had hoped never to do again.  I am frustrated and a little mad.  I don’t need this.  I am on the downhill slide and I don’t want it to be delayed or worse yet start over with some other sort of surgery needed.  I am hoping that it is a simple strain and will go away with time and powerful medicine.  For those of you that have been praying for me…please continue.
