NONNIE'S PHOTO A DAY, Day 61: H is for Howe


This shadow box was a gift for youngest son.
It contains his dad’s Howe Military School 
football patch, watch & belt buckle.  
The pen and passport belonged to his dad’s father. 
Sadly, we never knew him because he died when my husband was 18.

Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing.
