Yes. I’m here. Insomnia is the pits, isn’t it.

I will be posting some pictures soon. later tonight or tomorrow.

Here’s the deal. I was reaching for the aluminum foil on the top shelf of the pantry. Since I’m short, I moved a chair to the pantry and stood on the chair. I got the foil and was turning to get off the chair when something happened. The next thing I knew, the chair flew out from under me, as I fell I hit the cement corner of the wall with my head and I landed directly on the lumbar portion of my back. Y’all may remember that I had ruptured that disk almost 20 years ago and a little more than 10 years ago, I had back surgery. since the injury I have been dealing with back pain.

I had the cell phone in my pocket and after I had quit yelling (cause it hurt), I called the medicoes who came very quickly. They got a back board and carted me off to the local hospital for x-rays.

Praise the Lord, no fracture.

But since noon until now (almost 1800) we were thinking, “Darwin or Singapore” and “who should accompany me” and “who can do the (few) things I do” and “who can do the many things everyone else involved has to stop doing”?

I’m hoping I’ll get some narcotics in a few minutes and then my typing should get a bit funky.

Prescription: pain meds as needed, bed rest.
