I was also a skydiver and my body took a lot of abuse from swooping down to the ground in my parachute, gravity hurts let me tell you! Working on ductwork in attics also required a lot of bending down, and carrying heat pumps up flights of stairs also did a number on my poor knees
I am feeling pretty sore this morning from playing two beach volleyball matches last night. This pro player was finishing up his teaching with two players and asked if I wanted to play a couple games. We played two games and won both of them, which was pretty cool seeing that I haven’t played for about six months. He is a really good player and usually wins his games regardless of his partner, but the guys we played against were good players as well, so I did pretty well considering my skills are a bit dusty right now. HVAC cleaning and repairs has been keeping me busy for the past six months, with the local contractor piling a lot more work on my plate than I normally have. I am fine with that because I needed to take a break from playing ball and let my knees heal some. I went to the local business a few months ago and they did an MRI on my knees and told me the cartilage is pretty much all gone in them, which was also due to the fact that I’ve been kneeling and working on radiant heated floors for the past 20 years. I was also a skydiver and my body took a lot of abuse from swooping down to the ground in my parachute, gravity hurts let me tell you! Working on ductwork in attics also required a lot of bending down, and carrying heat pumps up flights of stairs also did a number on my poor knees. I just need to let them rest and I’ll be good to go.
