CDW Posted May 18, 2017 Share #255 Posted May 18, 2017 A tour in Marine Corps, never hurt my back. Seven years of boxing, never hurt my back. Years of high level football, never hurt my back. Years of lifting all sorts of very heavy objects at work, never hurt my back. A kids birthday party, while grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, our little puppy walked behind my feet while I was stepping backward. Tried to avoid stepping on the pup and awkwardly fell backward but caught myself and no damage done...or so I thought until the next morning when I could not get up out of bed and had to crawl to my car to go to a doctor. The moral of the story, you can do extremely hard. heavy work all your life and a five pound puppy can end up wrecking your back. Go figure. Hope you get that back straightened out, Carl. I know first hand what a painful aggravation it can be. cog, Piet, src and 5 others 8 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
