I took a fall on Friday morning after losing my balance when my whole leg was asleep. I managed to give myself a compression fracture on my L4 vertebrae. Not fun.

I am in a lot of pain in spite of the medicine given me. I was told healing would take up to six weeks or longer. And I need to see a neurosurgeon in 6 weeks to assess my healing.

I am typically a very active 70 year old who exercises frequently, clean my own home, mow my lawn, prune bushes and weed gardens. I have never been an invalid. So this is very frustrating for me.

I was told I cannot bend, lift, or twist for at least 6 weeks. I couldn’t anyway bc of the pain.

I am asking for prayers for complete healing as I don’t want to have to go through any surgery in the future for this. Also need prayers for pain.

Thanks in advance to all you prayer frog warriors out there.
