Alvin, I am not exactly kicking butt anymore. My back has hurt all my working life and now I have the shingles on the left side of my face and in my eye.

Went to the surgeon that did the 2 surgeries on my back, told me that there isn't much more he could do for me. He allowed as how old age is catching up with me. He had me fitted with a back brace which does absolutely no good.

I guess I will just keep plugging along and not give up just yet. I take some solace in the fact that there are people who are a lot worse off than me. I have a nephew with lupus and a bad heart. He has been in the hospital twice this week and almost died both times. His mother(my sister) is taking care of him along with her husband who is in a wheelchair with MS. So I am pretty lucky after all.

BTW, how are you getting along.
