Flat on my back

[puppetmaker]

I was picking up Caroline out of pen when she tried to flip out of my arms. She moved quickly and I twisted my hips to keep her from falling out of my arms. I felt something twist in my back and though *ouch*. I continued to clean parts of the house and pick things up. My back started to throb and hurt. By Friday evening I knew my back was not happy with me. By Saturday morning I could hardly stand and the act of sitting was agony. So I have been in bed for the past couple of days with a few tries at sitting downstairs. It is getting better slowly. Thank goodness for Peter and Ariel. They have been taking care of Caroline while I have been working on doing things like standing without screaming.

Caroline is very confused because I can’t pick her up. She is mad about the situation and has let her feelings be made known. I have sat on the couch and let her climb up into my lap. Peter has also brought her up to our bedroom so she can romp on our bed with me. She says Mamamamama when she hears my voice coming down the stairs. I hope I can pick her up real soon. I miss my Caroline hugs.

Peter came out of his office Sunday and I knew something was wrong. His face was ash. He said “Rick Biggs died.” I couldn’t believe it. It doesn’t seem right. Last time I saw Rick I had Caroline in a backpack on my back. He ooo’d and awww’d about Caroline and then pulled out pictures of his kids and we discussed children and the raising there of. He was one of the good guys. I watched him with fans in all kinds of situations and he was always generous with his time and talent. I will miss my conversations with him. That makes a couple of con buddies that I won’t be seeing this year or any other *sigh*

“Rick Biggs died.”

Oh shit.

He *was* a most excellent guy, in addition to being a wonderful actor. How awful.

Peter might want to contact the DragonCon people...or you can. They don't seem to believe that Rick's gone. I know it's hard to believe myself - he was a good person as well as actor - but.
