Was supposed to have been gone this weekend to MS to watch State beat up on Southeast Louisiana but those plans got derailed Thursday morning at local ER. Was doing string trimming Monday when the heel of right foot caught small hole and I tumbled backwards falling on my ass/lower back when I fell. Was more worried about hitting pipe fence with my head than where I was landing. Was hurting but endeavored to persevere and get it finished. Laying down I was getting horrible cramping in my back that by Thursday was not lessening. Wife insisting, I go to ER to get checked out before we went out of town. Drop dogs off, grab coffee, go to ER. CAT scan showed I had compression fracture to L3 vertebrae. There went road trip. Managed to get tickets sold and reservations canceled without getting dinged. Showed PREVIOUS damaged to my L2 vertebrae from injury I don't remember. Remember falling on ass a few times over the years but not one that hurt like this. So it is Tylenol-3's, an anti-inflammatory and wrap around brace for a week to ten days. Holiday weekend so having to wait on call back from neurologist to get an appointment with them.

Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day Weekend!!

LW 168, This week 161.8

Lost excess weight I was carrying. It's a weird part of post wls. I periodically gain then at some point it drops back off.

Works busy but fine. Looking forward to Jets winning the Superbowl, but I've been thinking that every fall for past 50+ years. NY fans still have hope this year.

Have a great week!

I'm in the frying pan at work everyday but hopefully it cools down soon. My weight is higher with higher workload and less exercise with poor eating decisions.

Overall it's not a fun phase at the moment.

Another week of 100+ degrees days. Lack of rain and life interference meant little yard work or rowing got done.

First full week of retirement in the book. Not shaving and have all kinds of white hair protruding from my face! Got shot down on job I interviewed for day I retired. Not disappointed in that either. Gut feeling is that it would be a "frying pan into the fire" job.

Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!

Don, congrats again on your retirement!

Nothing new here. Rain gauge show over 5" since Friday. The lawn is one soggy mess, but got it mowed yesterday. I found that zero turns slip a lot in wet grass. :-)

Taking off today to visit an alpaca farm with the family. No rain in the forcast for today, but I am expecting a soggy, alpaca poop fun filled day.

Good week to all!
