Wayne, I found this an excellent testimonial. Opinions are opinions - but when someone has overcome a major or chronic ailment, regardless of fitting 'into the box' or not, I believe they may have a valid message for others to learn from. To me these are the 'gems', because the 'proof is in the pudding'.
I think your point about working through the 24 is valid. Sometimes when the hands drag past midnight, and "I'll just finish this...bug hits -- and then 'one more hour should do it' --- then it's 5 or 5:30 and I get up around 6 - so I just go through - I have found it much easier to function on day 2 if I do not grab an hour or two in the morning but hit the sack early the next evening at 8 or 9. Initially it took a bit to get my mind around it, but it works for me. Thanks for your testimonial of wellness. It's inspiring.

Can you still run up a flight of stairs? :-) Yes, of course. Two or three flights, maybe not 8 or 10. Current age, 65.5 I have no back problems and still lift anything I am strong enough to lift. A year or two ago I was helping my son load some cross ties on a trailer. After it was over, I realized this was a good test for my back. If I had any weak disks, this would have tested them very effectively. I can still work 24 to 30 hours straight. I tell all my younger friends, If you can't work 24 hours, you are not healthy. Many people tell me they cannot work 24 hours straight. Likely I could still do 36 to 40. Have not done this test lately. ...
