poppasmurf 328 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 Beautiful Prof. Unfortunately my job trial ended in abject failure due to my back incapacitating me, so I have not been able to get out. Rather typical as I have had some nice clear skies and inabilty to take advantage. Shane 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingeing Pom 643 Report post Posted September 10, 2018 Sorry to hear that Shane - what is the cause of the back trouble? My missus has back trouble but a trip to the chiro once a month manages to keep her on her feet. Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poppasmurf 328 Report post Posted September 12, 2018 Hi Greg, I have had 2 lamenectomies and a vertabrae fusion. I always have some pain but this time it was a lot worse than usual. I just have to deal with it as I have since it all started about 10 years ago. The way I look at it, even though I bitch at times, is there is always someone worse off than me. In other words "harden up princess" lol. Shane 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingeing Pom 643 Report post Posted September 13, 2018 I know it's very hard to harden up to back pain - had it a couple of times when I've done something stupid (easy to do stupid things to your back when you're 6 foot 2). My son is 6 foot 4 and I hope I have lectured him long and hard enough about looking after his back (although he did have a car hit him at the back at 50 mph which didn't do his neck much good ).
