Our lawn has turned golden.

Robin asked me to do her blog tonight.  This morning after her shower, she went to bend over to turn off the water and when she stood up there was considerable amount of pain in her back.  She was able to get partially dressed then the pain progressively got worse in her lower back.  I helped her finish dressing back into her PJ's, and got her to the couch and gave her two hydrocodones.  If she laid real still she could endure the pain, but if she moved her head or coughed, it was excruciating.  The inevitable happened, she had to use the bathroom.  With very slow movements it took 30 minutes to get her there.  From there I put her into a recliner, which was more comfortable, being slightly more tolerable to get in and out of.  That is where she has been all day with the exception of a few trips to the bathroom.  We are both hoping this doesn't continue tomorrow.  She had to miss two appointment today; one with her physical therapist and the other was with Gini, her manicurist, which she really hated to miss.  She really enjoys visiting with her.

FROM OFF BASE
In honor of our armed forces, the USC football team used the backs of players' jerseys to display a little patriotism.  They placed words like Duty, Service, Courage, and Commitment where players' names would normally go.
During the game against the Univ of Florida, a fight broke out, prompting the television commentator to annouce, "It looked like Integrity threw the first punch.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
