Hey. Um...yeah. Surprise! My back has been killing me for like 4 months. Of course I'm not going to tell you about my pains. I don't need anyone worrying about me. Thanks for the concern. I'm going back to the doctor in 6 weeks. He gave me steroids and ibuprofen. He told me to stretch and to swim. I told him I can't swim. Then we talked about the church for a little bit. haha.
I hurt my neck today actually. I was bending over the sink to wash my face and I guess in the process of getting my hair wet somehow I hurt it. I feel paralyzed. I really need to rest...but I'm on a mission. So I can't. We played baseball and volleyball today. I don't think that helped. Also I cleaned a refrigerator. I had to do a lot of bending over and scrubbing that I used to be able to do just fine. It's very uncomfortable for me now. ugh. I feel like I'm 50. Haha...like you. But probably worse. I will do whatever it takes to avoid going home. I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. This part (1/2) of my mission will be in pain. I can handle it. I'm pretty tough. You already know I don't want to complain at all, but my back hurts!
It would be awful for both your sons to return from their missions because of some injury. I have to stay out here for 2 years. That's what I promised. If I don't, then I can't say I served a full-time mission. Even if it's 23 months. Anyway, sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Like I said, I just didn't want you to worry. I realized that Sister Crippen would tell mom why I needed dad's SS#, and then I would be hearing about it in my emails. So yeah. I went to the doctor. He didn't really help much. He's not a specialist or anything. But there is a specialist in our ward. I will talk to him I guess. Welp, sorry I don't have much else to say.
Um...we had a baptism yesterday. It was good. I presided, conducted, and was a witness. The next one will be a little more organized. I hope.
K bye!!
