My love...

This week Buffy (my wife) has been experiencing severe back pain. I know that it has to be severe because if she hurts it's bad. She made an appointment with the chiropractor Friday. I was expecting him to find a catch in her back or something of that sort. She calls me that afternoon and explains to me that she has "degenerative disc disease". Those words went down into my gut and beat the life right out of me. All I really heard was disease...disease...disease.

I Google'd it and found out it wasn't the death sentence that I thought it was. Although I do realize that it will be something she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. That is what bothers me. There is absolutely nothing I can do to take that pain away. If I had to travel to the far ends of the world to pick a plant that would cure it I would without a second thought.

I am sure some will write this off as something minor. It is not.... My love is hurting and that hurts me. Buffy I love you and whatever it takes we will get this straight.
