My nasty little habit of doing too much kicked me in the spine again last week. I was out of work for five days this past week. It was so bad Saturday that the wife and I were contemplating whether or not I would be able to continue working or be bedridden for the rest of my life.
Rule # 1- Get a bigger chainsaw
Rule # 2- When the sweat starts pouring, take a break
Rule # 3- Don't let the Chiro crack the back on the PINCHED side!
Rule # 4- Don't EVER tell me I may never dive again!!!!
Rule # 5- THERAPY THERAPY THERAPY!!!!!
and hence, the wolf is back on his feet after burning sessions of muscle rub and hours of hot tub soaks, followed by painful exercises. The x-rays show minor degradation between some vertebrae which may limit activities later. Main doc on Wednesday will probably schedule an MRI to see what soft tissue damage is done. For now, I am focusing on rehabbing so the megadive is just that.
In '94 I had a motorcycle accident that threw me in a wheelchair learning to walk again. I cut the recovery timetable from one year to just over one month when they told me I'd never do martial arts again. In 9 months, I was kicking & breaking bricks in demos and competitions with a previously triple piece, broken shin in that leg!
I love SCUBA even more than martial arts as a recreational activity! Once rehabbed, I'll be looking to dive every week in SOME fashion, in SOME place!
It also helps when great friends show up at the house to visit! THX GIBBON!!!
Viva la megadive! Tonight when I get home, I'll scan the map, if the computer works right. I work nights during the week again, so I'll be limited to weekend dives as I have a toddler to watch during the day. We'll see what's happening by late October.
