Description: This job here just keeps on giving. We are now in mid January, two and a half months after this job, and I'm still dealing with hip and leg pain from that fall. It's waking me up at night. My injuries didn't fully reveal themselves for about a week after the job. I'm still uncertain of the full extent of damage. I think I may have fractured a bone in my foot but I never went to the hospital to get anything checked. It is only because I've herniated disks in my back before that I know what some of this pain is. Yes, I have a herniated disk, likely from when I landed with my full weight plus forty pounds of tools on my right knee sending a shock through my back. We recently returned from the Hive Life conference where I was in pretty severe pain most of the time but I hid it the best I could. No one knew I was injured except my wife. By the end of day two of the conference I was sitting down as much as possible. We were able to bring my dad to the conference and with the aid of a wheel chair he got to attend most of both days. For a little while I thought I was going to need to join him in a wheel chair of my own. I am now trying to stay off my feet and recuperate. That's tough to do and still make a living but we'll get by. I have to be ready for 2022 cut outs so rest and recovery is my focus at the moment. I have to give big love to Mike Barry and Rick (can't remember Rick's last name but he's from Idaho) for both pitching in to help with unloading, setup and re loading of our booth before and after the conference. Those guys and two other's whose names I can't recall were an immense help. They saved my bacon without knowing the need. Thank you guys!!
