Hi all!
Sure hope you don't get tired of hearing from me. I just keep
thinking
of more things that happened to Al before his attack, and wonder if
they
are significant.
Al was under an enormous amount of stress for about 1 yr preceeding
his
attack. (I won't go into all the reasons why). Also, he was working
his
regular job, then working on construction projects evenings --putting
in
lots of long hours.
One week before the attack (his daughter got married)--he was taking

folding chairs to the outdoor wedding---the trailer with the chairs
began to fall, and Al grabbed the trailer, and was injured. He
thought
it was a pulled ham string, but hurt clear up into his back.
Wittnesses
couldn't believe he could walk the next day at the wedding. His back

continued to be sore all wk.,but not enough to prevent him from going
to
work etc.
I'm wondering if other have felt stress or trauma could have played a

part in his attack.
Thanks to all of you who are answering so many of my questions.
Mom Connie and Al
