Hi All,

Thank you all for the kind words of support. I'll have to keep this short -- getting better but can't sit for long in this chair yet -- so I can't respond to everyone.

Tried everything suggested and more -- even tried some prescriptions to little avail. I think it's a popped/slipped disc. Was getting better, then I just lightly tapped one hip squeezing by a kitchen chair and sent myself into orbit again -- spun me right around and shot down my sciatic. I was sorely tempted to bump the other hip to try to pop it back in, but stopped myself. It's just gonna take some time.

Leesa, talk to your PCP. They got stuff to help you quit that they didn't have.... when you could still smoke on planes... We need you here!

I'll pipe in when/where I can... Gotta go -- past my limit.

Doc
