From a hospital bed

I'm on some pretty groovy painkillers right now and this comes from
the tender care of Maria Hospital in Helsinki. Having come back from
skiing, I went to the gym even though my back wasn't cooperating and
got totalled in the early sets of my squat (only 80 kg on the bar, the
day's heaviest was to be 115 kg). I have a pretty solid technique and
in the past the deep squats I do have actually alliviated my chronic
back pains. But this was acute. I can't walk quite yet, so they've
doubled the dosage here. Talk about treating the symptom. But I'm
grateful. If this is what my taxes get me, I love paying my taxes.

I was planning to start blogging actively about weightlifting. Now, I
may need to change the sport.

Cheers,
Mikko
