Hercules not Superman

Today I needed to get up to the gutters on the house to reinstall some screening that the high winds had blown out of place. 

I was going to wait for my wife.. but she was busy, so I got the ladder myself. 

The ladder was much heavier than I remembered, and when I lifted up to the side of the house, I strained my lower back. 

Now when I stand up, I hunch over like an old man.

After working out at the gym and all that bike riding, I thought I could do anything.  Well, I did make the gutter repairs, but I suppose it was a lesson in being a little more patient and realistic.

I'm hoping this aching back heals soon.

Awwww Herc .. sorry that you hurt your back today.  Did you put ice on it as soon as it happened?   I hope it feels better tomorrow. 

Hey Hercules! How dare your back betray you that way! You must be careful! Sorry.    Connie

After our wls, our pounds go away, not our age. It's sad. However..........

I hope the pain goes away quickly. In the mean time take care.
