Well yesterday I got out in the shop after I got home from my shoulder therapy... I pulled the headers to work on them... I broke the collectors off a year ago (Wild Bill remembers that day LOL), well I got the one side all welded up and back on the car... re-installed the rockers on the one side of the engine... I found where a push rod jumped out and chipped the adjuster cup so I put a new adjuster in and got them back on, well in doing all this I must have over worked my shoulder..... MAN... did it hurt last night and today, went back to therapy today..... still hurting... well I guess I better take it a little easier on it, the therapist wasnt real happy with me today.... and I wasnt real happy with the pain either... even the pain pills didnt help last night......... reminder to self......... TAKE IT EASIER for a while... man I can be so DUMB. I still need to fix the other header and get the rockers on the other side, plus I want to change one of my fuel pumps and then its just give the car a going over.... I would still like to put in a new fiberglass dash but I need to order that yet Thanks for letting me RANT a little

the PT is so you can do the stuff that hurt. Unless they are only working on range of motion, why isn't working on the car PT? Kinda like driving a fresh engine the way you are going to use it, breakin' it in right!

We told you to take it easy... 
Yeah I know but I get bored and forget
Mike you do need to pace yourself to allow your body to heal. I'm sure it felt good mentally to get out there and work on the car. Just keep in mind your aren't 18 and bullet-proof anymore.
Yeah I know all too well that I'm not 18 any longer

I know how you feel. I was like that after my back surgery and I take pain meds every day for my joint pain. Hang in there as you will get better and be out on the track in no time.  Ron

I hurt my shoulder, and my neck a while ago, I was welding inn new Oxygen lines at a steel mill I worked at, and it was winter. Well I ran out of rod, so I walked outside throught the opened overhead dorr, then WHACO, I was out cold. A chunk of ice fell from 110 feet above me and hit my hard hat, shattering it, glanced off and hit my shoulder. The piece that was left weighed over 85lbs. It compressed a vertibre in my back and chipped #7 in my neck. messed up a tendon in my shoulder. I never went to rehab, or anything other than a quakopracter. He did good work, I felt a lot better, was out of work for a few days, but I was young. Now Im 30 and its gettin to me big time. I know your pain, and Im sorry for all those who messed up their bodies cause it draggs on for a long time.
I also used to race Dirt bikes so my knees, back, and neck are toasted.
Sorry man,,
Kasey

I know what you are saying about over doing thing's, as each day I get just a little braver with my leg,,,,,,,but I have to say the PT has done wonder's for me, got one more session,, and I think I am actually going to miss it.

When I had my carpel tunnel surgery, the doctor told me to go home and do my normal routine. So I went home and pulled the rear-end(3rd member) out of my car. Man that hurt..
Somthing tell's me,, that's not quite what he ment.

minor cleaning in the shop then it was doing a little
work but I wanted to work on my headers.... so...
