My doctor’s nurse called my house today and spoke with my wife. Turns out there’s no permanent damage to my spine. It’s normal for a person my age. No fracture ater all … apparently it’s just going to take a long time for the muscles in my back to heal after such a fall.

I’m really glad to hear that you don’t have a fracture. Prayer: answered! I hope you can take it easy and heal up in the meantime.
I think the heating pad is going to become my new best friend. Getting older sucks!
I was given a similar answer today, brother. A 19-yr old girl in my church broke ribs the same day I did. She’s back up to full speed. I asked my doctor if it was normal for me to still be at a certain level of pain. When he began his response with “At your age,” I knew I was in trouble. I’m not ready for this, Jason.
Thanks for letting us know our prayers were answered. I’m somewhere up the road ahead of you, and struggling simply to keep some of my youthful strength.
