What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It'd probably be doing better if I stopped working too hard. I didn't rest it much because of the conference last week. It was feeling decent by Sunday afternoon and then we got home.to.a broken water heater so I was getting that all torn apart last night. Then I decided I wanted to try to sleep laying down instead of in the recliner. That lasted about 45 minutes before the pain came rushing back. I was able to get back up without too much trouble but it hurt. A lot. Hobbled around work today and had my benefits fair so I was on my feet too long again. My wife won't let me help lift the new water heater though, so there's that...
the more you tweak it, the longer it takes. I was told 2 years to fully heal. I do find sleeping flat on my back or even laying down flat during the day sometimes really helps. even if it's uncomfortable for other parts, it helps re-align my back.
 
Good Morning Peeps!
Not only is it Taco Tuesday, It's Cinco de Mayo. Burritos today?

for you @kingranch2003 it's true, they have a meme for everything! 🤪
