Nice post Andy.....


I know exactly how you feel....a multiple of lower back problems has pretty much incapacitated me for the past 6 months or so....


Hell, I'm only a 90 minute drive from Foxwoods and I've only made it 5 or 6 times in that period because (as I'm sure you've experienced), when you don't know whether your going to be able to walk 1/4 of a mile, it kind of limits your options.


As far as the "old farts" stuff?


lol.....when one is physically active and in decent shape, one can NEVER imagine the impact of being semi-incapacitated.


It's the little "stuff" that gets you.....like walking out to get the morning newspapers, and being barely able to make it back to sit down and read them!


So, I "second" your old farts advice about taking care of yourself.


I would also add (based upon my own experiences) that once your body starts breaking down, it's a real bitch to get it back in shape.


Hope things are on the upswing for you......


Carpe Diem!!!
