Each Step I Take

That is the song I thought of as I made my way to the house.

Each Step I take the Savior goes before me,

Each step I take just leads me closer home.

Man did I want to get to the house. It has been a few years since it has been out but I know what to do to get it back in shape. One thing I have to do is walk a lot. I have to walk, to build those muscles back up.
Why? My back is out again and it was all I could do to walk. It happened yesterday too, I was in the kitchen making a pie for David, (Strawberry Rhubarb)As I turned my back locked up, I could not move for the intense pain. I could not put my weight on my left leg or hip at all. I prayed, I prayed really hard.
As soon as I could move I made my way to a chair, to ease the pain, Finally it stopped. I then make my way to the bedroom for my nitro. I did not have it on me and that pain was so bad I thought I was going to faint. (I am not a fainter).
So today I felt fine, I went outside early, maybe 930. I began mowing, after I silicon ed a wire on the sprinkler system.
I mowed at least an acre, then I moved the sprinklers in the orchard and mowed around those trees. I was still fine.
Problem came when I got off the tractor and bent over. The pain hit. I prayed again. I had a few things to finish so I walked really slow and completed my task and parked the tractor under the shed.
As I walked to the house, I prayed each step I took would not be my last for a few minutes.
It would have been so embarrassing to get stalled in my own driveway.
Finally I got here, it took a while too, I walked like a little old lady.
I then prayed I could get clean before it totally locked up, I showered and whimpered. I could not raise my leg to wash it so I sat down, that in itself was a chore.
Finally I get out and then I can not dry my legs, I still cant bend over. I let them drip dry.
Now on to clothes, That was horrible. I thought about going nude but that was not a good idea. Not really but it was something to see, to watch me try to put my clothes on.
I had to drop them take one foot at a time and the other foot had to help out.
It was hilarious, I am sure.
My walk is fine now, slow but so much better, I am totally dressed and I even walked to the drive to check on a sprinkler.
Now I have to rest that nerve and you all know me, that is not something I like to do..
