I agree! I have a pretty bad Back/Neck, have good days and I have very bad days..I just moved and me being thick headed, I always do the stupid things that I know I can't do or shouldn't do! Yesterday I took down my inverter, carried one battery down the stairs, felt a twinge but kept going until my nephew took it from me, then after, I went to see an area with a friend which was on a beach, walked in the sand yatta yatta yatta, it was a very busy day for me...Today??? I'm beside myself with pain, but I needed dog food and my girl was at work. So me being the stupid hero as always, decided to walk to the local market..By the time I was about 2 blocks away, my bad knee started to give me fits! I had to put my foot out to the side like a damn penguin in trying to get some relief as I walked...Got to the market, just stood outside for a bit hoping it would go away some..Naaa, of course not!
So I limped to the back of the store, grabbed my 1 can of dog food, paid and left...Now, there are tons of motoconchos here in Puerto Plata..Guys on mopeds if you will, that will give you a ride for 25 pesos or so....I get asked at least 5 times during that same walk on any other day, not this day!! However, one came over to me, spoke English and asked, are you okay, need a ride?? I said no I'm not okay, but I don't have anything to give you either..BAM! The dude told me to hop on..Got me home. told him to wait a minute. I went inside to see if I had something for him, found 40 pesos, went back outside and he was gone!! That to me was like super motoconcho...I was like, where did superman go?? But maybe he didn't hear me..
Thing is, he's a common dude at that market, so I'm very sure I will see him again and will take care of him hands down when I do! But for the most part, 100% yes!! you will most likely be catered too, but you should also be careful...I've been around here for a while now, so those guys see me all of the time..Reason why, that guy most likely asked if I was okay because I never go out when I have my bad days..When I do, its pop my tens unit on and in bed for a bit. You being new around here, may draw the wrong attention to you, so just be alert of your surroundings
Anyways, just wanted to share with you since this happened Today.. May I ask what happen to you?? I feel out of a moving car at about 45 Miles an hour on the Southern State Pkwy in NY back in 1987 or so, long story.....Was fine, so I thought...and in time I have major issues that need surgery, just opted not to with the risks involved. I hate that for you! people that could walk before and now can't..A very good friend of mine went crippled after his speed boat flipped and landed on him..Not sure if it was the boat that did it, or him hitting the water, but I just hate seeing that..
Best wishes!!
God Bless You!
