Well, as you know my sweet and lovely had major back surgery back in the fall, and she continues to do very well. I fell at work about 2 weeks before, went to pick up a load at the galvanizing plant, and set my heavy oak timbers out on the trailer. The forklift guy brought my stuff out on pallets, so I went to take up the timbers and my feet got tangled in some tie wire in the yard and down I went backwards with the dunnage in my hands. Well, I've jumped through the workman's comp hoops ever since, no pain medication, and finally got an mri and consultation with a REAL Dr., 4 bulged disc's. Had to beg for something for the pain this week, scheduled for a spinal shot at the end of February. I'm not a whiner, but I don't know how they can keep returning me to work, albeit with a 20lb restriction, and just eat ibuprofen, I've probably ate 500 of them since October. I'm going to have to sell the cows, and just got this herd where I wanted it, after 5 years. The dozer has to go, I don't even dare climb on it, and probably all the rest of the farm stuff. Dammit. Not looking for sympathy, just needed to vent, thanks. Charlie
