In 1974, in the Navy & stationed overseas, I managed to break three vertebrae in my lower back. I'm a life member of the Disabled American Veterans, but manage to go about my life with hardly an issue, most of the time.
Every once in awhile, I manage to do something that puts me down ... like this morning, carrying laundry down the stairs. As I reached the bottom stair, something internal suddenly gave way, and I just barely avoided falling as my knees buckled. I had to crawl back upstairs (embarassing!) and can sit, after a fashion, but can't stand or walk.
I was going to mention the snowstorm that's dumping multiple feet of snow in areas to the east and south of us, with some coming here today & tonight. But what the heck: it's December in Alaska, and no one is going to be surprised by a snowstorm.
So have a great day, & I'll try to come up with something more entertaining after the Celebrex kicks in.
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

OUCH!
After scooping 5 inches yesterday, and 3 inches this morning, I'm of a mind to ask the bearded guy for a snow blower! The only saving grace is that the snow is light as a feather, but if I don't keep it off the deck, the -10 (or so) temps predicted will make a skating rink and I don't intentionally skate!
I hope your back recovers soon, Rev. Paul.
Jeez! Having had two surgeries between the L3 and L5 vertebrae, I can empathize as well as sympathize with you.
Hope you feel beter soon.
