So, I am now on day 10 of waiting for my back to mend from having pulled it out (after doing full-on squats at the gym) which one of my chiropractor friends says is a no no for a guy my age. I usually try to be careful with my form, but I was not feeling that well and incredibly tired from having to deal with a horrible jury duty I was a part of. In short, this poor, poor woman had suffered a horrendous rape; and the jury panel I was being put together with were the biggest group of dis-compassionate losers [and idiots] I would have NEVER dreamed of having to encounter!! Its like most of them were emotionally numb and completely disconnected. Very disturbing... Anyway, the next morning, as I was running around trying to get ready for my early afternoon one-on-one...out of nowhere I did this really odd yoga-like move (that I never do) where I pulled my left foot up to my waist to put my sock on...and wham!! Out went my back! It was so bad I could not even walk my client to the door after the session was done! I just collapsed on the couch and waited for Jamie to get home-not moving an inch or else I would scream! Well, after a LONG and GRUELING WEEK I thought I was almost there (70% mobility) but I guess I moved wrong yesterday and I am pretty much back to laying flat again today. All I want is to get out and go to the gym or go run. Ive been laying here watching all my hard earned gym gains slip away. PS: Its true what they say... that in your 40s muscle mass can really go away fast if you do not get to the gym often enough. Thank goodness for Apple TV/Netflix, YouTube, Facebook and sweet caring friends or I would have been bored out of my mind! I am all caught up on House of Cards (Kevin Spacey is amazing in that role!) and other mini series that I love watching one after the other commercial free without having to wait for the following week after the cliff hanger happens. Lastly, to all those of you who suffer from chronic back pain...OMG!! I mean, I kinda already knew it was not fun...but I totally forgot what it is like to have to endure that kind of pain! Its horrible!! So to those of you who love them...have compassion...it aint easy Im telling you that!!
