Re: [Texascavers] Fwd: SHARING THE LOAD
Day after tomorrow (Wednesday) will be 9 weeks since I took a 10-foot fall in a South Austin cave. Ten fractured ribs. Today was pretty much the first day I've put in more or less 8 hours of working about the place--lifting and toting of things maybe 50 pound max. My back is tired. Have been virtually pain free from the beginning unless I twist. Good luck on a successful recovery On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Sheryl Rieck wrote: > Good grief! That sounds awful.
