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

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. Jim

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!

Mike - I know exactly how you feel. Four years ago I had a triple bypass. Ten days after the surgery I told the doctor he either had to let me go back to work or have me admitted to the funny farm. I was going absolutely nuts sitting at home doing nothing. The first half day back at work plumb wore me out. I guess us old ones can't learn to take it easy - but you're 6 years younger than me so you're not old yet. Take it easy anyway..

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
