--Back (and the lower regions!)
Yeah, I'm a victim of back problems!
They started last summer; died out over the winter, than came back with a vengeance this past month!
I now walk and sit "tenderly"! In fact, I think the song "Tenderly"--you know--"The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly--", was written by a man who suffered back pains!
How many people talk about their "back" problems to avoid doing anything strenuous? I couldn't count the number of those types I've run into in my lifetime.
Now I'm one of them!
Mores the worse, my wife can't use that as an excuse to get out of doing things for me---or maybe that's NOT so "worse"!
She, of course, like all good little wives, waits on me hand and foot!
Believe me, I don't belittle her. She's a godsend!
Oh yes, I've talked to my doctor---he says, "Tough it out until the end of October and we'll give you a shot then!"
I said, "Listen, doc! If I have to wait that long for a shot, I'm going to need surgery on my knees, because that's how I get around now!"
"Not to worry," he sez. "I know a good knee surgeon!"
This, obviously, is only the beginning of a long battle!
Anybody got a spare back?
