It was a Good Friday, in more ways than what we would normally
think of it, as it is expressed through our culture or Churches.

I had damaged my back some where along the way near the end of
last year. It caused MUCH pain in the way of back muscle spasms.

Now I've always heard that back pain was one of the most painful
of the things that you could feel, now I have lived through it, I understand
that very very well. As each step, every step, that I took would cause
jolting, severe back spasms. I finally visited a bone doctor while working
in Clearwater and that seemed to help, mainly went to make sure that
something wasn't so far amiss that I would do more damage.
BUT, it didn't rid the pain, so when I went home, I went to another doctor
there, but that also didn't seem to help or allviate the spasms.

Finally on Good Friday morning, I awoke, got out of bed and the pain was
no longer there, I could walk, amazing and so so very much fun to finally
be able to walk without pain! WOW, I still have some muscle pain along
my right back side but not the muscle spasms as before, just your plain old
pulled muscle pain, not a big deal, at least any more.

I'll not take for granted, the ability to walk, without pain, again.

Just wanted to share some good fortune that happened to me and I hope
that those that also have back pain will have it come to a stop as well...

Wow, that is good news. With the long trip you're on that will certainly be a blessing.

Great news ! I have had back issues off and on for years, for me it is the rippling pain as the muscles tighten upacross my lower back. I am so glad yours is better, take care and it will stay that way!
 
Hi Gary,
Glad to hear you have gotten some relief, I remember that you travel a lot and a back injury sure wouldn't make that any fun.
Continued good health and pain free living. :thumbup:
Hope to see you and meet you for the first time at Ashokan some fine day. :)

Thanks guys and I might be able to make it to Ashokan this year.

Just made it to Johor Bahru, about 45 minutes away from Singapore.
It's been a longish trip for sure, but finally here, 3:27am local time
as they are 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard.
Off to bed!
