I don’t know why but I’m shaking. This morning when I got up I had pain across my mid back. I’ve been in for tests this week.

“OK, I figured something out,” I’ve been working on a spreadsheet in Google Docs, something Denny introduced to me this week.

“It used to be that when I’d wake up in the morning I couldn’t stand on my foot. I’d fall over. I’d be in such pain. Even that is almost negligible now that I’m going to the gym. I get up and I can stand on my foot. It didn’t used to be that way.”… Continue reading Episode 24 – Vicks
