Oohhhh my aching back!
Oohhhh my aching back!
Most individuals at some point during life will have back pain. Maybe you have had an accident, injury or even just slept wrong and you wind up with back pain. In many cases this is self-correcting and will just go away in a few days. However if you are similar to many of our patients and your back pain is not going away and has been lingering for weeks, months or years or you notice you only get relief when you are taking pain medications or antiinflammatories - this is NOT NORMAL! 04/09/2022 06:34 AM

A new Taylor chapter
A new Taylor chapter
Two years ago this week, I started writing a little column in my brand-new hometown newspaper. OK, the newspaper wasn’t brand new, but my hometown was! After being widowed, I sold the family home and moved to Taylor, and immediately fell in love – with the people, the town and my new life. 04/02/2022 06:13 AM

After the storm
After the storm
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. 03/26/2022 07:37 AM
