Morning gents!

 

Woke up about 5:30, grandkids ain't coming till 9 or later, darn, coulda used another couple hours. At least the lower back actually feels normal this morning. Another damned rabbit moved in to replace the one that mysteriously died a couple days ago. They must be lined up for garden vacancies, same if not worse for squirrels. Hope this one doesn't like fresh new bean leaves like his predecessor. I still have 3 or 4 stunted plants the first one didn't kill off before I killed him he somehow died.

 

Mornin, Al and Bob.

 

Mornin Al & Bob & Greg & Mick & any Wooders I missed.

Mick, first morning in a week I could put my socks on without feeling like I was gonna tear something loose in my back. Have you had to struggle with getting dressed since the surgery?

 

Morning, Bob and Mike!

 

Moldy, a couple of days ago after a shower I put on my underwear without using my Gripper tool. I find it I sit in a very low chair sock and shoe sequence is much easier.

I am very aware of not bending from the waist. Twisting is agonizing.

 

Re-mornin Kidz. Just passin by on my way out to cut the %^*^)&%$^ grass....ya, I know Al, don't even say it.

 

Hey, Doc... I haven't cut the *&^%^&* grass in 2 months! Mama is now in charge of all cutting, trimming and putting garbage out at home. #1 son is in charge of all lawn maintenance at the lake. I like this new arrangement...

 

Al, you're practically a kept man.

 

It's a real pita when it's hard to take care of your own body, and the first time it happened, was driving me nuts. After going through this several times, usually only a few days, sometimes just that day, I have more patience since I know it's just a matter of time till I'm back to normal. Just have to keep remembering, it gets better and one day it'll be gone, hopefully sooner than later. I had more frequent back pain in my 50s than I do now, I'm a slow learner I guess, kept doing things as if the body wasn't getting older. It was... and still is.
