[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 3870165, member: 45551"] Oddly enough I think this will be me, also. Not because I have to but because I want to. The year to 18 months after that tree attacked me I had serious mobility problems. Even though I did my PT religiously, it wasn't helping. My pain was so bad I didn't even want to breathe. This job at the grocery store has changed all that. When I started in March I could not lift a 12-pack of sodas without using both hands and if something was on the bottom rack of the cart, fauxgetddaboutit!! I could not squat down and get back up without help. Last night I spent the entire night stocking the baking aisle and cleaning up the floral/plant display thingee, while I checked folks out in between. Food stamps have loaded so it was a busy night (lots of really full baskets). I came home tired and sore but not undone. It is nice to have some of that strength and mobility back. I'm gonna even try the gun range out tomorrow (today is too busy -- gotta get ready for the kids) and see what I can do. Last time I went I shot less than a mag through my 34 and I couldn't hold my gun up any longer. To say I was devastated would have been an understatement. Crazy drift, huh? Anyway, I don't see me quitting for a long, long time. Apparently I need the structure a job gives me. That and I really like the people I work with. [/QUOTE]
