I'm sorry to hear about this latest development with your back. :-(

Sounds like this was a classic case of "marital give and take". Hope that although she is blaming herself... that you aren't.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. :-)

Dogs are good. Cats are good. :-) So you have both. ;-) Just hope you don't end up having more then your share of marital problems because of them. :-P

Anyway --

I'll catch you later. Need to sleep.
