No blogging today, I’m afraid. I’ve been having lower back problems for several months, and on Friday night it got a lot worse. Saturday morning I couldn’t get out of bed, and had to be transported to the ER. It turns out that I had a compression fracture of one of my lumbar bones. I’ve been in the hospital ever since.
I can walk again, but I’m pretty much bedbound for a while. Beyond that, further tests will tell us what’s going on here. Without either oversharing or being coy, there’s a chance this could turn out to be pretty serious. We’ll know more by the end of the week. In the meantime, blogging will obviously be pretty limited.
