when we lived in Wyoming, my shoulder & neck seized up on me for almost a week. not a good thing when you're bell hole welding 20" pipe. I finally went in for it and had the Dr. twist me around and got some muscle relaxers, but she suggested yoga. stretching and meds did ok for about a week. less than a week of yoga with no meds and I had full range of my neck and shoulder with no pain. same for working a full day twisting in horrible positions to weld pipe in almost impossible places with no back pain. on the subject of my wife, I have become quite tolerant of a great number of things as I have gotten older. people talking about or insinuating about my wife is not one of those.
as The Wretched Ones said, "Sometimes I think I use my hands more than my head, but I'll just keep plugging away until I'm dead." I've been busting my butt for 26 years already. I feel like I'm ready to retire.
more quaffay.
