OT.....Take care of your back!

I have spent most of this past week flat on my back! At age 46, what a revelation is was, to be completely incapacitated, in pain, and the overwhelming feeling of being a burden to friends and family. This blue collar guy took his back for granted, did not listen to his back when my body was telling me to "take it easy". Whether is was my past youth/invincibility or not wanting to face the music of aging......but I pushed it too far this time. Not being able to do life's simple things was hard, not being able to hold or pick up my four yr old was more excruciating than the physical pain.

To the wonderful and truly fine people that frequent this thread, take care of your back! Bend your knees, push don't pull and a little daily stretching wouldn't hurt ya one bit!

I am back, not 100% but yep, still an energy bull!
