Covid?

Actually it was just me thinking that I was 14-years old!
I've been carrying 37-pounds of resource materials between a backpack and briefcase when I do EcoModder.
The City of Denton tore up the street I was parking on, pushing me out to 7-blocks from Copy-Pro.
I tried to scramble down into the road construction as a shortcut, both directions. While under load.
Everything was okay until 3:00 A.M. the next morning. Then it felt like my hernia repair surgery never happened.
It was 6-days before I could crawl into my yard to make my first phone call. The house is a Faraday cage, and the only place I can get a signal requires standing, which I couldn't do. I couldn't sit up at all.
Anyway, after 9-hours at the hospital yesterday, with X-rays and a CT scan, the best they can figure is that all five of my lumbar vertebrae had been fractured at some point, and twisting with bone spurs, while under load signaled my body to rebel!
Quite the message!
So, for any of my numbskulled friends who think they can still act like Superman, at 70, take heed!
I'll either smarten up, or pay the consequences.
