Road Back On Track

"So I am still waiting & hope, that my pain will not celebrate its two years birthday party." Here I am, thinking if I should get a cake or hit a gym harder than ever before.

Because I never thought, that I would be even able to do that kind of farm work I am now doing. Yes, at the same time I am also very scared to make something structurally worse in my back. I do not even know if that is possible, because I have not received one same answer from any doctors. One says, that there is always a risk to make it worse. The other one says, that because it has not got worse for
