Starting to get back into it again have gotten some advice regarding exercises and weights with lower and mid back pain, and doing them seated. This has help a little that and cutting 30 mins of my work outs. So of late its been smaller loads but more reps.

Good man!!

IMO, the main thing is to avoid hurting yourself. Getting advice is a great idea!

My wife was injured today at work. Not life threatening thank God and she didn’t have to go to the hospital. Doctor tomorrow and probably a few weeks or so of therapy. Co-workers were asking if I was going to go check on her. I told them no because at work she’s not my wife she’s my colleague unless of course it’s life threatening.

I got the results of my MRI today. Three (3) herniated disks and one (1) bulging disk. Now I know why my back hurts so badly at times.

So unless something else happens between now and the end of the year I will finish my nearly 40 year career with having had:

2 knee surgeries
2 torn rotator cuffs
The back injuries
A few concussions
24/7 tinnitus
Severe hearing loss
COVID
Numerous exposures to illegal substances

I’m certain there are a few other work related injuries and illnesses but I cannot think of them right now.

It’s been a wild ride!!
