Sorry to hear that, Allen.
Back problems I've had since I was 29 when I lifted a billiard table and 
twisted my back; from time to time it's back and I can hardly move. And I 
got rheumatism, but here in Portugal it's much better. Specially when it's

very warm. I lived in Holland before: very wet and cold. I hardly came out

of the house anymore and pain was my only buddy.
It sometimes seems unfair: as we get older and wiser (well, at least we 
should ;-), we can't do what we want to anymore. The trick is to see what
we 
*can do*, not what we can't and get the most out of it. After all, it's
just 
one big school; a lifelong term of learning.
