Mar 2020

and I was back to normal

One weekend after a long road trip incl a night of bowling when I wrenched my back, I was only able to crawl around my apartment

I’d been using up unpaid sick leave and had to go back to work. Was literally weeping all the way in on the drive

A couple weeks of chiropractic with a wonderful place that had great equipment and methods for spinal decompression and I could at least walk normally.
