I'm currently typing from my yoga mat on the floor because on Saturday morning, whilst doing one of those HIIT workouts that are popular with the kids, I committed a little too heavily to a move and ended up on the floor in agony. I've injured my lower back. For most of Saturday I couldn't walk, now I can walk with a wobble, but going between standing up and sitting down is a nightmare.

I'm doing all the right things, icing it, painkillers, stretching and as much movement as I can. I'm hopeful it will get better soon, but at the moment it's hindering my ability to work because I can't sit down for long, bend or move things around.

I'm working on the script for my next video when I can. And hopefully when it comes to filming I will be stronger.

Geez! Get well soon! (We're not getting any younger!)

Age comes to us all... Get well soon!

Hang in there! Hopefully you can get it all relaxed. I've been trying out a new workout routine and I feel my back is trying to commit mutiny. Must just be a challenge with age.

Oh no. I had this a few months ago and I wanted to die. But after a few days of stretching and rubbing volteren it got better. Feel better soon. And when you do, rest for a bit so it won't come back.

Oh no back pain is the worst. I hope you feel better soon!

Sharon Laubach

Hope it heals soon, and is just a temporary back strain. Glad you're taking good care of yourself!

Hope you heal up fast and effectively. I'm looking forward to the POV series about games you can play lying on your back. - Scott (and Eryn)

Oh noes!! Rest up and feel better. To give you something to look forward to, I’ve been trying to find a time to record my 2yo watching your “Board Games are Not Just for Geeks Anymore” video. He imitates your gestures and tries to do some of the dance moves. He also tries to sing along but can usually just get the word at the end of the line. It’s adorable, and I’m hoping to be able to share it with you (2yo cooperation is limited). Also, if YouTube stats show you an account that has watched that video dozens and dozens of times, then 👋🏻

It’s been a while, hope you’re feeling better?

Yes doing much better now thanks Erick and working on the next video. Will update more in the newsletter.
