Don’t worry, I’m not going to subject you to a history of my physical therapy, I know it might easily wind up boring my readers. But I never expected anything like this to become a part of my life; and I daresay that probably applies to most of us.

The therapist who worked on me today recommended I get a cane. He was a little bit scared he might offend me, but I wasn’t offended. Gotta do something about the mess my hip is in. Anyway, there must be a lot of things a student of the sword can do with a cane, besides just hobbling around with it.

A friend of mine from basketball had a hip replacement and came back from it to play again; and he made a good run of it until the other hip blew out. No more basketball for him. I will try very hard to avoid that.

The next session will be on Thursday–my 75th birthday. Confound it, I still have books to write! And a wife and a cat to love. Bring on the crabcakes! And bring on the prayers.

Between having to go for physical therapy, and having to write my Newswithviews column, I’m running hopelessly late with my blog. But those are things I have to do, no backing out.

I got worked over pretty good by the therapist. I mentioned that this was the first time I ever had to pay someone to pull my leg. And what if it were to pop loose–like those little dolls we used to have, whose arms and legs could be pulled off? Not a comforting thought.

I also had to do some work with those big squeezy balls that I thought only featured in Fail Army videos.

Anyhow, my hip is bad and they’re trying to fix it for me… so I’ll just have to find some way to rearrange my schedule.

Where Have I Been Today?

My right hip is a mess, looks like I have a bad case of arthritis, so Patty has signed me up for a course in physical therapy: so that’s where I was this morning. And I have to go back tomorrow.

Well, I tried assorted supplements, tried walking it off: no dice. It’s got to be physical therapy. I’ve never been a fan of calisthenics etc., but now I have to do it, like it or not. Please pray that it works.

My therapist–she’s very strong, don’t mess with her–said, at the conclusion of this rather grueling session, that I can now sit down and enjoy a cigar with a clear conscience. So I did.

And the Lord blessed me with a new character who will appear in my next book: Ozias, King Betrayed. This is Irik, a humble scholar, a lover of the Scriptures, who will be the next high priest: Obann needs him. He will play a major role in the story.

For the time being, though, let’s see if I can get this blog moving.
