I've got a Ph.D. in philosophy, interpretation and culture earned at Binghamton University in upstate New York (considered State Ivy and a rigorous place to study). I find myself turning back to this study, listening to podcasts in this realm, and wondering whether I have a voice in this. I'm going to try it out, in a relaxed and unsystematic and unpolished podcast-like way. Below is a kind of into. Link will take one to a post that contains the sound file. Click on the file to listen. Very casual and soft 12 minutes to endure. Comments on this beginning effort are certainly welcome
This blog - I'm Wes Rehberg - is dedicated to what I'm up to in writing, art, activism, and critical thinking...

SPINE INJURY ENDS MY RUNNING EFFORTS.
At age 81, in late January, I seriously injured my lower spine (again), causing a period of extreme pain that ended when I had surgery (microdiscectomy) that eased the pain from a herniated discs in lumbar4 and lumbar5 (L4-L5, L5-S-1) that painfully squeezed the root nerve from L5 and resulted in neuropathy in my right leg and condition know as drop foot.
Since then, the nerve compression has eased a little, helped by my walking and bicycling. More to say about this, maybe. But it looks like now that I can't seriously run again without re-injuring this region, making it worse than it was.
