Reflections of Fall-SpaceClear.com

My lower back spassed out last week while I was helping my husband assemble the large pieces that would become the new Adirondack chairs for the patio. One mindless lift of a chair part, one split second of searing pain, and boom, it's over: I'm out of commission. So crumpled I couldn't even lift …
