(Great) Uncle Frank wasn't the only family member with back problems. Uncle Forrest (Forrest Edward Todd,) one of the brothers of my father, Francis ("Frank") Leverett Todd, had excruciating back problems, culminating with horrible spinal cancer, in the end. Great Uncle Frank and Uncle Forrest both had the same stooped walk. Myself...well, occasionally, I suffer from excruciating pinched nerves. You know I wrote about that in one of my Chrisstmas stories, "Mr. Attitude Had Given His Love,"about my dog, Jacques XVIII ("Mr. Attitude") who finally lied down next to me during that time when I was stuck on my back on the floor in front of the Christmas Tree for two days! I added some sarcastic remarks: "It would be in front of the Christmas Tree. Well, Merry, Merry Christmas." Unlike Uncle Frank and Uncle Forrest, MY back pain is not constant. But, when it hits, it is horrible...until my back goes back into place.
