Today out shoveling....still not well, but the fresh air felt good, I slipped and pulled my right hamstring muscle. Even felt a "pop" Ugh! I don't like to complain, but I really didn't need this. Icing it now and will continue that treatment. It's not too painful right now, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Stay healthy, all!

Hope you heal up quickly.

These are helpful when dealing with snow and ice.

We had a bug Christmas day too. Had to drive 4 hrs to San Antonio after it settled.

Yaktrax! Yes, great idea!

I read a flu was going around...of course it is that time of year.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

An FYI: One of my physicians alerted me to the fact that Tylenol and ibuprofen, taken together, was more effective than the same amount of either one. I take a regular strength Tylenol and a 200 mg generic ibuprofen.

^^^ Thanks for the tip, PS!

Ouch, I strained mine the other day unloading a truck load of heavy rounds of firewood. No pop though. I suspect it is going to be very sore for the next three of four days. Easy it does it.

Three out of five kids sick. The Mrs and I are good so far. 75 yesterday and 73 today, no shoveling

orc, easy does it is my plan of the day(s).

Hope you're okay too.

BigSwede, stay healthy!

Dinner at mom's on Christmas Eve,

she was a bit under the weather so we left early

went back Christmas day and she tested positive for Covid, so wife and I taking Vit C, D etc

today mom is like new, and fortunately we did not get sick

Stay healthy, lyman.

Feeling hot watery eyes, so figured I better take my temp. 100.8. Maybe shoveling was a premature activity. But who's gonna do it?

Looking forward to a good nights sleep.

I read that local flu cases were up 175% from just last week Supposed to be a nasty strain of it too. I feel for you 6guns. I *hate* being sick. Hope you recover quickly

I hope you get feeling better Carl. Man I don't need no colds or flu this year. I pulled on my lower back again this week. A few days of nursing that and I'm starting to come around. Now, if I can just put on my darn back support when working outside here. First I need to take the thing out of its package. Here on, I am wearing it.

The dread of the holidays. Everyone visits from all over the place, shares the crud, then tries to get back home. I hope you all feel better soon. I've been praying I don't get sick before all my treatments are done. 3 more next week and I'm finished up. I hope you only have a muscle pull and nothing worse. Ice is your friend.

Both of my boys have colds. Both of my nephews as well so Christmas dinner is canceled. The wife and I have so far avoided it. Something is definitely going around. Take it easy on the hamstring 6guns.

The flu over Christmas! Happened to me two years in a row when I was 9 and 10. lol. Sorry you were down for the count. The hammy is insult to injury. Or is that injury to insult? Anyway, God bless you, brother.

Hope your feeling better!
