I adore new home improvement projects, over the years, I’ve invested into a sizable collection of power tools! I’ve read books and blogs and taught myself how to respectfully install new windows, replace plumbing pipes, lay floor tiles, put up drywall and more.
I’ve gone through my new home room by room, gutting them down to the bare studs.
I’m now in my fifties and still tackle huge jobs, and as a smaller guy, I struggle with some of the heavier materials. About a year ago, I decided to tear out the laundry room, add insulation, replace the pipes and purchase new appliances, but the most taxing section of the project was putting up the drywall on the ceiling. Although I chop the sheets in half, they were still far too huge and heavy for me. I needed to sit on the top step of the ladder, support the drywall with the top of my head and left hand while I maneuvered the cordless drill with my right hand, while it was uncomfortable, I didn’t realize that I was damaging my back. A few hours later, I was in so much pain that I could no longer sit or even lay up. I eventually l received that I’d torn my trapezius muscle; For 3 straight weeks, I had no option however to lay flat on my back on the couch. I couldn’t drive, make it up the stairs or even clean my hair by myself. I needed something more than ice packs to treat the pain, however since I’m unwilling to take prescription drugs, I was fortunate that the cannabis dispensary provides delivery. From my spot on the couch, I could use my laptop to shop for cannabis products with a high CBD to THC ratio. I chose tincture for fast acting effects, edibles for long-lasting effects and topicals that I could apply directly to my trapezius muscle, then cBD is helpful for treating pain and inflammation.
