Too much coffee this morning.;)

I went to a neurosurgeon yesterday. He carefully read my MRI from June 1. I have arthritis, bone spurs, and flattened discs in my cervical spine. Without knowing my age he would have guessed I am 10 years older than I am by looking at the MRI. He wants to see me in 4 weeks to see how I am progressing. Neck surgery may be in my future. I do have a history of arthritis in my family, both sides, including the neck. I have lived a physically demanding life. I played sports in high school. I served four years in the Army as a paratrooper. I raced motocross, and for the last 20 years I have rock climbed and more recently participated in Crossfit. For now I will continue my life. I will continue to train. I have already made several modifications. I will stay away from lifting heavy weights, especially overhead. I will no longer put performance in front of health and longevity.

@Tim, health and longevity, right on.
