UPDATE- My Back and Fire at Just Good Food

I try to stay in shape because sometimes Karma isn't enough.

First off, I want to say, "THANK-YOU!" so much for all the concern, support and well-wishes I received after I hurt my back 11 days ago. *If you don't know what happened, the video is below. The out-pouring of concern was truly touching and I can't tell you how much it was appreciated. It feels really good to know people cared and if I could hug each one of you, I would. M-U-S-H-Y, but true. Let me update my situation. So, I literally couldn't walk for the first 5 days and the difficulty/pain it took to take a shower, change clothes, go the bathroom (I know, tmi) was past intense and even getting out of bed was so difficult, I slept sitting up on the couch. To say I was a little worried would be a vast understatement. I didn't want to say it then, but I'll say it now, I knew I should have seen a doctor, but truth is, the money situation just isn't all that...enough said. Fast forward to this past Monday when I woke up and it was almost as if KARMA decided I had had enough. I don't want to say 'miracle', but kinda. I'm at about 90% and have even hit the gym these past 3 days. I attribute my quick rebound to Karma and the fact I'm in shape, I think out-of-shape may have had some serious problems. That fall may not look like much to some, but at 53, believe me, we just don't 'bounce' like we used too. Anyway, thanx again. And btw- I know a few of you thought the video was 'funny', so remind me to laugh when you walk into a pole.

The fire that engulfed 'Just Good Food' a couple weeks ago was indeed arson. *The video is below. The owner and our friend, Mike, is trying to figure things out, but as of this writing, it doesn't look like he will rebuild. Will post more on this later.

Hey bud, so happy to hear you are better, we are the same age and I took a hard fall on my deck 6 months ago so I understand. I've had muscle spasms that had me screaming out, very loud. The pain is indescribable. You recovered in your own terms and I get that too.look, in my heart I know that both you guys will be rolling in dough because you both have awesome energy and you understand how the Universe works. Looking forward to meeting you both some day, really proud of you and keep telling us all the truth in your videos.... As the truth matters ! God Bless.

Thanx so much for the nice words....... they're very much appreciated. And yeah, you're right, I will have money again, problem is, don't give a shit.......although paying the rent each month would be nice.
Glad you're feeling better! I got through my last back injury with ibuprofen and lots of ice packs. I hope you're back to normal in no time. I really appreciate your honest take on a lot of what goes on in CR. Keep it up!
Glad you are feeling better and that it wasn't something more severe. what a relief and especially for you guys! thanks for the update too and sorry about your friend mike's business. inadvertently, both these situations are food for though for anyone thinking about moving to CR and fitting with the kind of info you give us about CR. thanks again.
