or: Why it sucks to be getting older.
If you're wondering why I haven't been hiking much lately (although most of the people on this site have probably never gone hiking with me, which is a horrible statement all by itself) - other than the obvious reason of not having as much time as I'd like due to my three beautiful young children - the reason is that I'm apparently falling apart.
Not to sound like I'm complaining, even though I am - but I'm having a lot of trouble staying healthy these days.
Right now the list of aches/pains/ailments:
- Severely strained left tricep (I can barely lift my arm)
- Strained right MCL (lateral movement is out and it hurts like the devil to go up stairs)
- Re-aggravated herniated disk in the lower back (old problem that keeps cropping up every 3 months or so)
You'd think I'd be smart and start to take it a little easier at the gym - but you'd be wrong. It's very hard for me to force myself to take time off and rest so that recovery can happen. I like being active and I like working hard. I like working kids half my age into the ground.
But, we all know that I'm a stubborn cuss, and intelligence is far from a foregone conclusion, so I kick and I scream while fighting the obvious - but all the thrashing does is hurt my back again.
This sucks.
Can I buy a new body? Heck, even a new back would be something. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

I'll guarantee you that if you've ever had a urinary tract infection you'd be sympathetic! _________________ John Richardson and Richie Rich, El Perro de Playero
