Dec 04, 2013 Less Back Pain Since I had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago, the one thing I do miss is carrying my son. It's always a nice feeling when my son is in my arms,... especially when he hugs me back. However, on the plus side of being disabled, my back has been feeling much better. :) The amusing thing is that I actually did not realize my back stopped hurting until my wife mentioned her back started to hurt. Poor wife... :( So the next goal is to strengthen my back, along with my knee of course, during the holidays. Don't want my son to get too attached to his mommy. :) I want him all to myself. :)
