Something whispered something that was not even a word. It was more like silence that was understandable.

I’ve been struggling with health issues for the past 4 days. Primarily deep back pain that penetrates my chest. I’ve had about every test possible checking for blood clots, strokes, seizures, and any heart issues. I have many symptoms of pleurisy, but all the testing came back negative. So, I am taking six Tylenol a day and resting. I haven’t been to the natural areas, bicycling, or photography as much. However, I made it to Mugs for an Old Town mocha and gathered around friends this morning. Seems hanging around friends is good medicine. I’ve kept up with my journaling and been reading some new poetry. I hope all is well with you. And, thanks for listening to me whine.

I hope you soon feel better, Monte. Strangely, I’ve been experiencing some back issues this week myself. Mine just seem to be some lower back muscle spasms. Back problems have become more prevalent in the last couple of years. I’m beginning to think I might be getting old.

I have had the back issues for several years. This time the pain was in my upper back and presented a different sensation. I thus wanted to make sure there was not heart or blood clot issues. I doing much better today. But, I believe that it is a sign of aging. Joints begin to creak and snap and pop, then hurt. It’s our bodies way of letting people know were coming their way!
