Well, the back is just a dull ache today after yesterday's fiasco.
That's the good news.
The bad news is the right shoulder is giving me clear reminders I landed a bit hard every time I stretch my arm out reaching for something.
Maybe I will take the Boss up on another day off (he offered it yesterday evening in a text).
It wasn't bad when I first got up about 3 hours ago, but it has been slowly working its way into my consciousness to the point I just took some medicine for it.
For the record, I seldom take anything for headaches or other assorted pain. I just deal with it.
This might be the third time this year I have taken something for pain.
Honestly?
A bit o' weed would be good about now.
Not to get 'ripped'...but a few tokes seems to help me relax/ignore stuff a bit.
But I have none, and I don't feel like going out to look for some...it is what it is.
Oh well...in the words of Robin Trower:
"I think I'll just sit this one out"
Oh a stitch in time, just about saved me From going through the same old moves And this cat is nine He still suffers He's going through the same old grooves ...

I normally don't take anything, but it was getting to really bother me a bit

I really thought last night I'd be up for it today, but guess not

We've been fixing up another house he bought to rent...he has 3 other guys as well as me helping, so he said it wouldn't be any trouble if I took another day

I don't get this out near enough as I should, because I really love it...but I seem to overlook it most times when I am digging through

Us more fragile old people sure do feel the pain. I think I told you on FB to get some Outback Pain Relief. Course by the time it would get there you would feel better. I am gonna go put some on my perpetually spassing leg and go to bed.

Take the offer for the rest day. It will do your body good. You might want to put hot and cold compress on your shoulder to ease the pain.
Same deal with me, I hardly take medicines. I know some who pop meds like candy.

Sounds like you have a high tolerance for pain (I mostly do too) . . . so when you actually feel like you have take something, you just know you're hurtin'. My right shoulder is messed up now . . . not sure if it's old skating falls haunting me or if it's from years of passing stuff to the kids in back of the car (I tweaked it many times) . . . in any case I know I need to do strengthening exercises for it. Maybe one day I'll actually get it checked out - but for now I know I still have that arm

The days of putting the blade down and just bulldozing through a day no matter how I feel have passed, I do believe...

Hope those aches are gone soon. As we get older those crashes seem to bother us longer. At one time, we just bounced back up.

Yeah...back in the day I could chop a half inch off of a finger and tolerate it for a few hours while I got the surgery scheduled and all before I got some pain meds for it, but nope...not any more.
