The last day of July I developed extreme pain in the back and pelvis area and the worst cramps in all of the left leg that I have ever experienced. I could not walk and live alone. I was able to call th ambulance, call a brother in another state, and crawl to the door to unlock it.I was rushed for a CAT scan in he emergency room and a fracture was soon found.Massive doses of narcotics and powerful steroids reduced the pain and cramps considerably. I will spare you the details.I am now able to be home again using a walker for short times.Sitting very long produces pain. I thus likely will not post here much for a while longer.

I have had no interest in wine or food since the problem, likely because of some of the drugs given including 30 ml of long-lasting steroids just before I left the hospital.
I am 76 years old, so recovery likely will not be as fast as when I was 9 years old and had my spine and pelvis fractured in a head-on collision between the school bus I was on and a loaded log truck.
