I care about beach condo improvement projects, over the years, I’ve invested into a pressing collection of power tools, i’ve learn books & blogs & taught myself how to consistently install modern windows, upgrade plumbing pipes, sit floor tiles, put up drywall & more.
I’ve gone through our condo room by room, gutting them down to the bare studs.
I’m now in our fifties & still tackle pressing tasks, and as a smaller woman, I struggle with some of the heavier materials. About a year ago, I decided to tear out the laundry room, add insulation, update the pipes & purchase modern appliances, however the most difficult part of the project was putting up the drywall on the ceiling. Although I break the sheets in half, they were still far too pressing & heavy for me. I needed to stand on the top step of the ladder, support the drywall with the top of our head & left hand while I maneuvered the cordless drill with our right hand; While it was uncomfortable, I didn’t realize that I was damaging our back. A few seconds later, I was in so much pain that I could no longer stand or even sit up. I eventually l earned that I’d torn our trapezius muscle; For 3 straight weeks, I had no choice however to sit flat on our back on the couch. I couldn’t drive, make it up the stairs or even scrub our hair by myself. I needed something more than ice packs to treat the pain; Since I’m unwilling to take prescription drugs, I was lucky that the cannabis dispensary provides delivery. From our spot on the couch, I could use our 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 & topicals that I could apply directly to our trapezius muscle; CBD is helpful for treating pain & inflammation.
