I'm not officially laid off yet, I've been told there is still a little work left for this season. But DAMN it feels good to wake up on a monday morning, put on my comfy jogging pants, and write in front of the fireplace while sipping hot coffee. Damn it feels good to be a gangster.
Sounds lovely. I'd just be happy to be able to sit! 😆 Since my back injury, I can't sit in an upright chair. I'm working flat on my back. With a laptop, that is!! Whoops! 😳
@TheStorySmith Its probably not as severe as yours, but thats where my wife is at. She cant sit because her hips are messed up, and cant stand because her feet are messed up.
I'm starting to feel the wear that driving a dumptruck is having on my body, and it feels good to be able to heal during the winter.
@TheStorySmith She is seeing a chiropractor and massage therapist weekly, does yoga, wears ice packs on her feet, has various deep tissue massage tools for her hip. It's getting better, but its slow progress.
I dont know if its sympathy pain, but lately I've been having early signs of issues. Pain shooting through my knee, lower back, so on. I think its from bouncing around in a truck all day, I'm curious to see if it improves over the off season. If it does maybe a career change is in order.
You should think about joining your wife for yoga. If it's the onset of arthritis, yoga is a good way to build those muscles up.
@TheStorySmith yeah, I know. I think I will try this winter.
@DanIsWriting
I'm in the same situation - I'm either upright or flat, no in between. My foot is messed up, too, so can't have weight on it for long.
Got an MRi on Monday, so we'll see what they suggest after that.
I hope your wife is able to get help, too! I have every sympathy!
