Jimi You are in our prayers.
Strange though, when we heard about the tornado/cyclone/hurricane (big wind thingy) that struck Cuba and Florida over the weekend, you, Theresa and the girls sprang to mind. I reckoned that you'd be in a bad way if the sky dumped half the ocean on you. I didn't know the extent of your leg and back troubles, sounds like you need a shovel to get you out of this one, and somebody to kick it along :~) We wish only the best for you and may your guardian angel hurry up with the help you need. Keep you chins up, there is light at the end of this tunnel.
