Met withthe Neurosurgeon today, I will not need back surgery at this time, and maybe never. I have been using an inversion table, and he said just keep using it. Leg pain is gone, now I have to get my strength back.

So many things that have to be avoided.
Same things that should be avoided before having a back injury.
Wood cutting is good, if there is no back injuries, done in moderation and a person is in fit-condition.
Right after I had My back mess up on Me, I got out My chainsaw, sharpened the chains, completely serviced the saw, put it, the chains and tools into the saw case and took it over and gave it to My eldest-boy-child.
Told Him, Here, I am giving this to You, be careful and do`nt mess up Your back.
He has 12 acres with some old standing cottonwood trees that are always dropping branches. I was`nt going to be using a chainsaw anymore so He should have it.
A 30 to 35 year old McCulloch 610, what a beast. I had installed a 650 piston and rings, the difference being, the 610 did`nt have a compression release system, Better be standing on that and have a very firm grip before giving that rope a pull. :busted: :rotfl:

Compression release was a great invention.

My father blew a disc in his back cutting wood, cost him his job driving truck. Both of those things are hell on a back!
I can add working concrete to the list, DON"T DO IT! :naughty:

Slight bit of thunder and lightening last night/early this morning, enough rain so the hoses wo`nt need to be drug out across the yard.
63 now ~ 95 for a high.
Concrete`s tough on a person.
My nephew, carpenter/construction contractor, roofing Mine house, garage and shed, I stayed away, far ~ far, not involved in that process one bit.
Back in the day, I`d a been right up there doing all I could to save some bucks.
Heck, I would have been up there doing the whole thing, all three buildings. :busted: :rotfl:

I look at it this way; I will have more time to reload and visit the gun range this fall.
