Update

Robbie's back is still bad, bad, bad, but he's doing a bit more each day. I think I've become a little better at 1) not stressing the small stuff and 2) asking for help. That was quite the revelation - as a social worker I preach the value of community, relationships, helping each other out and asking for what we need. But I find it very hard to live it when I'm the one who needs to be on the receiving end.

Today I am feeling sore in my lower back. Please don't go out, please don't go out, please don't go out.
