Don’t lie to your father. Do you have a healthcare proxy for him? Sign a MOLST document, not a DNR, which many places use as a permission slip.

Recommend from experience seeing a spinal specialist, and if surgery is necessary, do so. The pain relief will be worth it.

I hope your back is feeling better. Maybe it’s time to get an MRI to see what’s going on. Have you had one before?

Jason, can you get some shots for your back? I’m sorry you had to miss your trip. I was looking forward to your nature shots

Dude, I can relate. I had a planned trip and my cat was having some real health issues. We took him to the vet and had to do life saving surgery. $6K and no vacation later, he was good. He's no longer with us, but I gave him a cushy life for the many years after that instead of being the stray in my backyard.

I always enjoy your posts. My health isn’t as good as it was before the election. Then on January 20 it gradually started to get worse. ✌🏼

Hope your back loosens up soon. Also hope your doc gave you a muscle relaxant and something for the pain.

Your instincts were good about your trip. After a 7 hr drive you might have needed an ER and they are not too plentiful in and around Yellowstone.

Your commentary is always appreciated. Thank you for all you are doing to save our Democracy. It matters.

Get some rest!

Hi JP. Sorry about all the bad news. Oh boy. Life. I hope that your wife feels better soon and that your back works itself out and gets better over time.
