Subject: RE: BS: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Hey.

Sorry I haven't been keeping the pot cooking, but I am living in Immobile, Ct. for the time being. Three weeks ago, I pulled a muscle in my hip trying to do something I'm a little too old (apparently) to handle. These last three weeks have been crammed fullo, so I haven't had a chance to really rest my hip and yesterday, after a very, very full week, it took me down. I couldn't even walk across the room without dange of collapsing, so we went to the Emergency Room, and Ruth took me around in a wheel chair. They x-rayed my hip and the good news is that it's just a severe inflammation of the muscles, with no damage. They put me of steroids (hey, it worked for Barry Bonds) and inflammatory mnedication and it's a matter of my body healing. I should be at least as good as new in a few days. In the meantime, I am immobile most of the time, and my computer is downstairs. I managed to hobble my way down stairs today, and wanted to see what was going on with you folks.

So, if I am not on quite as often in the next couple of days, it's because I'm not manipulating the stairs to the basement momentarily.
I still can write in a notebook, listen to music and watch old movies. I expect to be bacvk in full force by the weekend if all goes well..
