March 2026 Update

Hello Everyone!

Several of you have wondered how I am doing, and this is an uplifting update. I really was in bad shape for a while with my back. I went to PT at Aultman North for several weeks, and they did their magic. I started to feel better and stronger after about 6 weeks. Then I went to Aultman Pain Management and had injections done by the compassionate and wonderful Dr. Mostafa. I started to feel relief within minutes. I am so much better. The professionals really helped.

One thing I learned is not to be too proud to use a walker. I have two of them - a rollerator with a seat that I use for long distances and in bad weather. Then I have a smaller one for short distances. I feel old sometimes, but it's better than falling.

When asked about my ultimate goal in PT, I said I wanted to walk with Davina for half a mile every day, like I did last summer. I am taking her for short walks and will work up to that distance. Of course, the weather has not helped.

The prayers, cards, cards texts, and well wishes of all of you were ultimately what worked, I know. Thank you all, and God is good.

One final note. While recuperating, I wrote my next book! It will be out this summer, and stay tuned!
