The long (and I do mean long) road to recovery begins.  It won’t be easy.

Thanks to two long –and extremely painful — medical procedures my back is slowly beginning the healing precess.  Overcoming extreme weekess in my lower legs is currently job one.  Recovering strength in my mid-section ( particularly abdominal muscles) is high the list.  Change of lifestyle is also high on the list).

Missed shooting the home boys basketball game in Floyd Friday night — something that will happen more and more often as I build up my stengtj.

With apologies to Jerry Garcia, what a long, strange trip it’s gonna be.
