May that luck hold out for years to come!
I'm only settling into my 50's now, but have had the Italian curse since I was in my teens. My grandparents had a >100 acre vineyard in Perth's Swan Valley, and every year all the kids were pressed into action to pick the grapes. The only issue being that the vines were set for 4'10" Italians, where I'm closer to 6-foot. Bending down to cut bunches over 10-12 days, certainly takes it's toll.
The back issues haven't stopped, but I have found ways to manage things that do work really well for me. I guess I'm lucky that I have always listened to my body, and found ways to not only cope, but recover from those types of injuries.
I think that the only pain worse has been of the wisdom tooth flavour. I never thought that I would be in so much uncontrollable pain, that I would be throwing up from it.
Get better, Alex. We will be waiting on your super-stacked images in the mid-term!
