Big storm with strong winds blew through Nashville yesterday late morning. Have been without power for going on 22 hours. Worst thing is I had started a load of laundry that got shut off midway, and the washing machine is locked with water in it...

Surely there’s a failsafe for those scenarios. What a mess. Sorry man

Power is finally back on now, after 26 hours or so. I didn't even open the machine, just started it again with an extra rinse and spin. Put in the max amount of detergent and added some vinegar in the prewash and postwash cups. Luckily it was mostly just kids clothes and workout clothes that were smelly anyways. I had a 1600 and 1610 in there that I was gonna take out to hang dry, so we'll see how that goes.

I’ve been working out for the past couple months to try and get this old ass ready for some skiing next week. Absolutely torched my lower back/sciatic nerve today doing some random leg stuff. Like can’t bend over. Felt like I was jabbed with an electric cattle prod and the pain just shoots down my leg. Any of you similar olds have a miracle cure for this? Gotta drive for 13 hours Saturday/Sunday. Getting old(er) sucks! Also my wife just told me she’s birthed two humans so quit crying.

@flannel-slut thanks for the tip. I’ll look for that one and see what else pops up.

You should be able to find plenty of shorts if you YouTube sciatic relief exercises
Shooting yourself repeatedly in the face with a shotgun being the most effective, of course...

Blew my back out on the first day of my vacation in the Caribbean…sucked, but got over it fairly quickly.
Muscle relaxers, hot and cold alternating, stretching,..and mojitos.

Anyone with kids knows this is always on the table.

Hot and cold packs, showers, ice, hot tub…whatever you can do. Stretch when the muscles are warm, and rest when they are cold. Some people will say you need to rest to heal, and I think you need to stay moderately active…but extremely cautiously. Don’t make sudden movements, and don’t do anything stupid.
If you’re driving for an extended period and haven’t healed yet…you may need to stop and stretch fairly often just so you don’t seize up. I know I would.
On the other hand, I would not try to do a personal best on a deadlift either for a week or two.
