Gods I hurt. Yesterday I started canvassing -- working ground-level in a commercial area. Not many steps, mostly curb and a lot of those have cutouts, so NBD. That was fine.
Then my underboss met up with me, and a two-levels-up-from-him boss, and they decided we were doing residential areas for the next two hours. We were three blocks from my car and I had no time to go get my walking stick. Most porches around here have steps, many relatively steep, and very few with a handrail. I have a moderate case of acrophobia, balance problems, stiff/achy knees, and too-short Achilles' tendons (the acro may have been acquired in childhood; the knees are an 8-years-ago thing I believe -- got a bit dinged up at the factory one day. The other two are from birth).
And today everything below my shoulderblades HURTS. Ibuprofen, where are you? And yes, I used a muscle rub everywhere I could reach last night. I'd be worse without it, I do believe. Worst parts today? Achilles' tendons and quads.
Somebody remind me this will only last a few days and then I'll feel better, please.
