The Betty Crocker of Fly Fishing

I wonder if you guys knew that all of us bloggers had a fantastic pastry chef in our blog community. I formed that opinion after I sampled some of The River Damsel’s fantastic cookies that arrived in the mail today. These are the chocolate chip variety big and thick that makes you want seconds, in fact, I down two after lunch. She also packed in a great read featuring Henry Winkler’s book, “I’ve Never Met an Idiot on the River” which I will read while my back is on the mend. Emily’s thanks so much for the care package; this kind of generosity is why I enjoy blogging so much.
 I needed my spirits lifted today and Emily’s package helped with what I’ve been going through for the past two weeks; constant lower back pain in my right hip. I won’t bore all of you with the details but I’ve been seeing my MD, Chiropractor and Physical Therapist for the past two weeks and I’m still in pain daily. In fact, I’ve never experienced pain like this before in my life. The only relief I can get from the pain is lying flat on my back, which I do quite a bit. No fishing for me or anything else until I get back on my feet, which according to the Therapist could be weeks.
I hope everyone has a great Labor Day!!

    Bill, I'm so sorry to hear about your back. As you already know, old age ain't for sissies. Emily's cookies are the best. Been a while since I had the pleasure of tasting one. Take care of yourself buddy.

    I understand that it's a really good book. I haven't read it, but it's on my list. Emily's cookies are awesome. Rest that back. Us old guys sympathize with the aches and pains of being a Geezer. The fish will wait.

    Bill I'm sorry to hear of your back condition. That is one of the most painful areas of the body and one of the most areas to treat. It sounds as if you have a good team helping you.
    Those cookies look good and the "Fonze" should put a smile on your face.
    Take care.

    I've had back problems for years and this episode is the worst I've experienced, I guess the body is getting older and can't bounce back like it use to. thanks for the comment

    My MD told me that an MRI wasn't needed because what was causing the pain was all the inflammation around the hip joint. I just got to remember I'm not 30 anymore. Thanks for the comment
