No weird yoga stuff from them :joy:. I can do that to myself! Just working on knee stability and maintaining control as the knee bends

That’s not bad, so it broke pretty good huh? They had me doing some kinda weird like yoga stretching for weeks before I was like I don’t need to come here for this I’ll buy a video. But I damaged the sciatic nerve and they said all the stretches he’ll over time. Did you have to get pins and plates? Also are you squeamish?

Oh I was lucky. No surgery, pins plates I had to keep weight off it for weeks and now I’m strengthening. Some things I am definitely squeamish about :rofl:

Chiropractor to put everything back in it’s proper place relieved it for me. Acupuncture got rid of it.
I also took everything out of my back pockets

Well maintained, just a spot of rust, and I can drive to Montreal on a single tank of gas.

Maintenance is a killer but diesel is cheap.

Absolutely! Wallet in my front pocket for 30 years. It’s especially bad if you sit a lot

…Another diesel, but with a bigger (21.1 US gal.) fuel tank. I’ve gotten as much as 48 mpg for long stretches (in the desert).

  • Correction 21.1, not 21.5 gallon tank.

Alright going to check into acupuncture after going down that rabbit hole seems there’s actually some stuff to support that it works, which is kinda neat. Also @Gonzo yeah the stretching helps when it really fires up but I think that’s more of the muscle loosing around the nerve but it does help in the mornings!
