Good morning :D
 
Morning all!! Cheryl and I went out to dinner last night a little pricey, but we definitely get what you pay for. A four-course dinner had a table for an hour and a half great atmosphere and no rush to turn the table. It was a great evening for her, and us with all she's been through the past few weeks with her mom. Not much on the schedule today, hitting the gym this morning and then maybe breakfast. I've had a forearm and shoulder problem the last few months nothing painful just tight and uncomfortable. I'd lost about 50% strength and finally gave in. With a phone call to my doctor for the past 30 years he approved PT. I've went in twice so far and one thing they did during my session was a 15-minute session of dry needle. They stick little pins in your forearm hook you up to a little electricity and you sit there and watch your hand twitch for 15 minutes. First time my arm was a little sore for a couple hours but then felt great. After the second session I was lifting again almost back to full strength. I'm taking small steps though PT guy said not to push it. I'm approved for another seven weeks but don't think it will take that long. Dry needling is a great thing when ice, heat, or stretching doesn't do it for you.
 
There is always things to do and have been thinking along the same lines. Not getting any younger and after my injury makes a person think about the future. But I love where I live

Hah! I have not even went back to building the road up on top I am focusing on pasture clearing this winter. There is so much to do I just focus on one area per season. The land had been feral for about fifty to seventy five years when we purchased it. The parcel was cut off by a good size creek so zero access. First thing we had to do was build a bridge to even gain access. That is how we purchased so many acres so cheaply. It has been a lot of work. As I age I am contemplating how I will manage it physically? Considering building a small house on the place and rent fee is property maintenance. I just don’t see me physically able to keep up with it as my body deteriorates.

Up here it is called modified. If you go to the Limestone quarry here you have a choice of Modified 1A 2A 2B Dirty 2B and right up the line getting bigger as you go up. Modified is quite fine and actually used on the icy/snow covered roads. It packs like concrete but you need dirty 2B it is the size of your finger nail but is not clean it has a clay binder and used in the base of driveways once that is packed down you can add 1A and when it is settled add the modified.

Yep after seven months I gave up and found a simple solution to my problem. Why continue to not be able to do all the things you could do??

The rehab helps with my lungs also... After taking it , I can go a little farther before getting out of breath...

I've been thinking about asking my heart doc to prescribe a round of PT for me... I've already done 3 rounds for my lungs... I think he will be open to me taking some, he wanted me to do some last year, but I was in the lung therapy...

The trouble is each round is for 8 weeks, it takes 6 weeks for the muscles to start getting trained... Why not go for 12 weeks so you can get 6 weeks "in the zone" instead of only 2??? :wtf:

at the first dragstrip I raced at, it was called the dust bowl. pits were gravel and dirt. they asked for the old oil so it could be spread/sprayed to keep the dust down. wonder what it did to the farmer's corn?

When I was in college back in the mid 80's some of the guys in the dorm used to do their oil changes for their car in the 'overflow' parking lot that was gravel and let the oil drain into the gravel... I didn't, but some of them used to brag about it...

I think I will try antihistamine sleep aid tonight instead of melatonin. Even though I only take 5 mg. It gives me bad dreams. No reason to drown in my sleep. I was on a sinking boat last night and woke up to get out of the dream. :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

Why not eat lots of turkey before bed... That'll put you to sleep... Get a good dose of Tryptophan....

My dreams are mostly working with my family or friends and trying to finish a job, and then I'm trying to find a toilet.

When I was little I dreamed that I got bit by a poisonous snake, and when I woke up I had a pain in my leg that felt like I had been bitten even though I hadn't... Funny how your mind can play tricks on you like that with phantom pain...
