Gorrito,
I'm 13 months Post Op (Harrison's going to hammer me here for not posting my 1 year post op follow up) but I still get very weird pain/tingling/nerve hits and spikes.....I stopped trying to 'hammer them out' in the gym as that DOES NOT work with ADR.....rest and 'cutting myself some slack' does which is totally foreign to me..TOTALLY. I've been self employed as an HVAC/R contractor for 40+ years. We did a job on the beach (I do a lot of ocean coupling of GeoExchange systems) for a client and worked 18+ hours/day, 3 days in a row and the last night of 3 nights of shoveling to exhume the Hxer, my back right at the operation level hurt like hell (1st time ever since the operation) and I backed off and let the hired labour and the useless whining owner who hid in the shadows leaning on his shovel. To top this off, we got the system 100% on the 3rd night at about 1:30 am and when the owner's wife returned from her month off in GmbH, she declared out bill 'too high' and offered us 1/3 on the payment although her husband was praising us on the night we got finished and pleading us to send them the bill and he'd gladly paid it as we'd likely saved them $30-40,000......
I hate being in business now....customers are cheap, self absorbed a$$holes and could not give sh!t about others.....only themselves and their precious GD money.......sooooo bottom line....look after yourself; whether you work for the megacorp or the jerk by being self employed........YOUR health must me cared for by you....NOT ANYONE but you.....

I would start back at work 3 weeks afterwards and could only make it 2-3 hours and went up from there. I had some days where I did 6 hours and the next day was in one case down and out for 36 hours like I had the flu....weak and shaky......I slept for 36 hours and was OK....BUT when I was back again and getting exhausted......I buggered off for the couch and my blanket....TAKE IT EASY and be authoritative in taking your time......
How many more chances do you have????? Really?
