I am missing my long walks down through the forest. Ever since the trip down river back at the end of August, I have been dealing with a terrifically bad back. (I think I might have mentioned that). The disk at the bottom of my spine is still acting up and has been for six weeks, now. I'm not sure why this time it is not going away with medication but it's not. As a result walking has become next to impossible. I've been pretty much house bound for five weeks. This week I am able to sit up for about three hours before my back get excruciating and I have to go lie down again. It hasn't made life conducive to walks in the bush as normally I do at this time of the year. As I told you a few posts back that surgery seems implicit. I knew that eventually I would need another surgery on my back, I just hoped that I could put it off until much later than this. Yesterday I made my decision to go forward with the process. I called the clinic here in town and made an appointment to see the GP and get the ball rolling. It means facing that MRI, but I'm not going to think about that yet. (should I be saying "fiddledy dee")!! With Murphy's Law on my side, maybe my back will get better now that I've got an appointment with a doctor....
Teapot came home yesterday from a trip to FSJ with photos taken on the trip there. They are awesome... and I'm missing all those beautiful colours.
Now, if those don't make you wish you were out in the wilds of Northern BC... well, I'm sure you live somewhere just as nice....
I'm missing being outside though... a lot! Today I'm going to give walking a small way, (probably just around the yard), a try and see if my back will hold up.
Either way with surgery ahead I guess I have a long walk.... (I sure hope this doesn't affect getting level 4 done)!
