I thought I'd repost my blog from last night here for those of you who may have missed it:

Well, as some of you have heard, I've really done it this time. My back is toast. To make a long story short, I blew it out big time over the last couple of weeks and ended up in the hospital last Saturday when the pain got so bad that I was no longer able to walk. Let's just say that I now have a much more intimate understanding of the word "agony". So here I am, five days later, still in the hospital, still can't walk... They gave me an injection in my spine yesterday that is supposed to get me back into the realm of being able to hobble around and come home from the hospital by tomorrow, but there's no guarentee, in fact, the consensus seems to be that it's more likely that I will attain a more intimate understanding of the word "surgery" in the near to not-so-distant future. Please be advised that I am all about proving my over-paid prognosticators wrong and will do all in my power to embarrass them. :)

Anyway, my spirits are good, and I'm fighting a good fight, but I am contemplating the next stage of this journey. If I am able to come home tomorrow or in the near future, it may be many weeks before I am able to do many of the simple and casual tasks of daily life that I have until now taken for granted. And so to the point, even though you are collectively the kindest souls I've ever known and although it's still very hard for me to ask, I'm gonna need a little help. I'm not quite sure yet what exactly will be entailed, but Johnny and Mo (Molektra) on my friends list have graciously offered to help me coordinate things.

Well, it's getting late and these good hospital drugs are kicking in so I'd better close for now. Thanks you guys, wish me luck!

Big love!
