    'Hope you're feeling better soon, John...and remember, chicken soup fixes everything. (Especially with a nice bottle or three of decent wine... ...but not with the drugs. Pick one)

    I know what you mean John. I replaced a wall oven this weekend and I'm thinking I need to go see the doc. Working from home today cuz I can only sit in one position for so long.

    What, did the horse step on your foot, after it kicked you across the yard

    Sucks, I know how you feel, I dropped something heavy on my foot, ouch! then it got infected, (stinks too) and now I got athlete's foot, have not had that since my high-school football days

    I'm hobbling around something serious, but I did manage to stand in front of the lathe long enough to rough out my first bowl.

    Buck up Mr. Hart, you can get way better drugs over there than I can here!

    Cheers!

    Take it eazy for a little while, John. You'll be back in no time. The one thing I have enjoyed about getting old is my back doesn't give me fits like it did when I was younger. Coarse everything else hurts now but the back is fine!

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Ouch John,
    And sorry to hear of your plight. Alternate cold packs with the heating pad; that will reduce swelling and lessen inflammation.
    See a chiropractor!
    Get well soon!
    Frank
