@nmsilvergirl Lauren:

I got busy, and still have not heard back from my last 2 notes to you.

Hot here, 107 next week.

How are you feeling? Any better? Still getting out? How is your aunt? How are you doing with walking?

Nothing new here, have started looking for a job, economy is hot here now, had an interview today, will get back to him next week. He is concerned about my back, have a spinal injury, I figure if I start working, my back should get stronger.

I used to get periods of absolutely pain, but I have not had one of those sessions in 3 to 4 years, THANK GOD, they are awful. All I can do is sit, groan and wait for it to pass. Over time the pain duration has gotten less and less, and I think I subconsciously know my limits as well.
