The Annoyance Of Pain

As some of you may know I suffered a back injury last year.  Since then the pain has been getting much worse & even becomes disabling.  I've seen so many different doctors it's hard to keep count on how many exactly. I've had so may x-rays and MRI scans that I probably glow in the dark,  not to mention all the painful nerve tests that involve long needles and electric current. I spend most of my weeks in Doctors offices waiting around.  It's very annoying!  But despite all of this I am still trying to keep up with my live performances and keep the songwriter showcase that I run in Hollywood with Deedee O'Malley going.  The last showcase was a tough one for me as I was in so much pain.  I try my best not to show it when I'm up on stage but sometimes it gets better of me.  Unfortunately during the last showcase it became so painful that I was unable to perform well and unable to perform the end song to the show.   I've overcome worse in the past when my lung decided to collapse and die on me.  So I'm sure I will find a way out of this. in fact I'm positive I will! But for now I'm gonna keep trying to take it easy.  I've canceled my trip to the UK as there is no chance in Hell my back would allow me to sit on plain for 12 hours.  Let alone walk around the UK itself. But if all goes well I hope to at least get my back fixed so I can visit before the year is up. I just wanted to give you all a heads up to why I don't attend many of my friends shows and events anymore and why my shows have become less frequent. So for now I just need your understanding and support.

Cheers for now :)
