    Default I've missed this place, life has been hard.

    I have been absent for awhile because of Dh. He has been in the hospital with his back again, blew the surgery that he had 2 years ago, and another surgery could be devastating. He is on sick leave and going to physical therapy. We have had some hard days. We have paid $19,000 in medical bills and were down to about $3000 owed and now another set back. We will make it though, just need to stay focused on getting him healthy again and back to work, and staying on the road to frugal living and debt reduction. I just get discouraged about the medical bills and his back problems. Anyway, I missed you all, don't know if you even noticed that I was gone, but I am glad to be back.

    Back problems are so painful and so difficult to treat. I hope he soon can feel better resume the activity he is probably missing. Sending best wishes to both of you.

    But don't go away again. Check in with us, at least once in a while.

    As a fellow back pain sufferer I can totally empathize with you both I hope he feels better soon and is back on his feet again.

    We have a friend here who had 2 back surgeries in a year... Same discs..... Keep your chin up, don't be a stranger......
