Each year at the beginning of baseball season I go through some pain as I adjust to the physical nature of coaching baseball. It takes about a week of so of throwing and hitting the ball to acclimate my body to the actions required. This year was no different except after a the third week my back screamed "No more!"
For the last four weeks I have been back and forth to the chiropractor (I believe in them, they have helped before) and icing each night and morning. This year though on two occasions I have had excruciating pain that nothing but painkillers will help with. I am now going on a plan of physical therapy that will strengthen my core muscles and straighten out my disc and nerve issues.
The big thought though is what if medical services were not available? I have pondered a bit about planning for future events, and it usually has me taking a fairly active part of growing food, gathering wood for heat and cooking, and even some hunting. But what if I am not physically able? This will be a problem.
So my next move to to get in better shape and take care of myself. My families livelihood may depend upon it.

I've been thinking about getting a hot tub to help with aches and pains. The problem is, I'm afraid I will never get out! I could sit in one until I shriveled up into a prune.
You missed a nice program today. I'll write about it sometime this weekend.
I was in Fresno to watch a nephew play at Selland Arena. Thought about going up to GI Jim's, but had to get back so son could go to work. Maybe next year.
