thanks to you and rest of VN,
The only doctor who I really trust thought it was best to delay trip
Saw him this morning -- his office was slammed -- but he was kjnd of enough to give me name of doctor to see in STL (if needed) and called us later today to answer any other questions we had.
will take conservative approach with pain

If you have a nearby school track with a non-concrete surface, they are great for people in your situation. You’re never more than ~1/8 mile + distance from the track to the parking lot to your car, in case your back muscles seize up.

we have an walking trail with no hills along the lake about 3 minutes drive from home. .Downside is high traffic over dam and too many dog walkers. Tried it about 20 minutes this afternoon and halted when it began drizzling.
If we get to STL, and I'm moving better, there's an abundance of parks and trails in area where we have airbnb reservations. I'll avoid the grandkids' bounce house and chase games. think we can still have fun. They're pretty excited about arrival of sister.

this is from a a new years thread\but especially wanted to thank the regulars in this thread

cant say i've enjoyed 2020, but it's been my first full year of being a part of Volnation. Had wandered in various UT sites since 2015, and this seemed like the only place to call home. Membership was awarded on Dec, 26, the very day in 1967 that Evel Knievel cracked up in his Las Vegas leap/

Don't walk or run on concrete

Okay. This is a sore subject with me because I often commute to work on Belmont in Nashville which has nice sidewalks, curb parking on both sides of the street, and bike lanes. Yet there are dumbasses who insist on jogging, running, and even walking in the bike lanes because someone has brainwashed them into thinking that locomotion on asphalt is more forgiving on the joints. That in turn pushes cyclists into car lanes and f’s up the whole purpose of the system. I’ve discussed this with my brother in law who was a world class runner in his day and he says it’s complete baloney. Running on clay or dirt will help but there is no difference between asphalt and concrete in terms of shock resistance.

Long ago, when our nation celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I lived in a house on Belmont Blvd.

My daughter just passed her boards and is now one of Virginia's newest Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA)

I showed her the Joedawg face app thread over the holidays and she rendered the following opinion;

1) everyone picks on Joe too much

2) y'all are effing crazy
