I've been in a drug-induced stupor since Christmas afternoon, so that's why posting has been virtually non-existent. I awakened Christmas morning at three o'clock in excruciating pain. My back felt as if someone was stabbing it with steak knives on the right side just below the shoulder blade. Luckily, my sister-in-law is a nurse practitioner, and she kindly called in a prescription for relaxant and pain killer to a pharmacy that was open Christmas Day. By Christmas afternoon I had abandoned the arms of Father Christmas for those of Father Morpheus. I only began to feel normal again this afternoon. But I am way behind on my real work, so posting will be light until next week.
