First off, thank you to all of the love shown to me either in the shoutbox (I'm sure I missed some of them) and by way of messages.
My son has been having some pain in his lower back for the past 5 days or so. It got to the point where he couldn't bend down to touch his toes (he'll be 14 in July 4). So, I took him to the ER and he was diagnosed with a sacral strain...nothing neurological or very serious, but the pain is real. So, he has to take advil and do specific stretching exercises for the next 5 days and if it doesn't improve, go to the family Dr. for a re-evalutaion. As many of you know, he is an avid baseball player and in sports terms he is "day to day".
So again, thank you so much for the genuine concern shown by so many of you.
