I Had My Back Surgery

I used to be the guy on the job that rarely asked for help lifting heavy things. My pride and macho had me thinking that I could do anything. I did for awhile but in my case, it caught up to me. I'm 51 with 30 years in framing/construction. I am fine most times (90%) but I have the pinched nerve flare up and kick me to the couch for a few days.
