Damn, has your work volume ticked up?

Yeah, Thursday was a bit much…
Ran me into the ground, ended up getting sick by Sat. morning…probably not lifting until this coming Thursday. Coincidence or not, I didn’t eat enough to help recovery, that’s for sure.

Sunday, 10/28.

***No lifting for 10 days; got the flu. Good.
***Probably an infection in lungs; take these pills; great.
***Maybe shop-vac your lungs if that doesn’t work; super.
***Pulled/ “small tear” left, below ribs/ deep in muscle from coughing ect.; seriously?
***Can’t sit, stand, lay down, move or breath without some pain; come on man.
***Lost around 15 lbs., not lifting, eating much…dehydrating and stuff.

Great update;
F**K you October.

Wow! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I’m wondering if I caught something too. Take care of yourself and get better.
