Upside Down



I ordered a newgen medicals-training unit with which I can hang upside down and hopefully never have back-ache again.

Dunno. Naive-me thought it´s just a click here and there and that´s it, but, noooo.

I was so scared, actually, I didn´t take a pic of all those parts I had to assemble!

And I reckon without Ingo´s proper tools I wouldn´t have made it at all! Those cheapies were of no use and I admit I was wondering why there were two same-looking tools, too (yes, go on, shake your head in disbelief - but, really, I´d never done this before!).

I´m kinda proud I can report I had to ask Ingo for help only three times.

It´s rather a cheapy (€99), but once I´ll get used to trust my own work in assembling (....) it will hopefully do a good job on my back.
If you don´t read me again... fail, biiiig fail. On my side! ;-)



Funny, I ordered this over a month ago and they could not deliver.
Funny we got it home now.
Meets ends with the title by accident (true, too).

Dunno. We´re off to the "Abgrillen"/last BBQ at my ex-colleague today (brrr 5C here, colder in the village). At 01:00 they start.
That was when I got the phone call from my Bro this date in 2011.
Mum was finally gone.
Four years have gone by, yet it hurts.
Dad´s gone over 13 years now.
Cancer, I hate you.
Shoot. I really hope I can "forget" about it and don´t make anyone else sad, also.
Bro called and told me to have fun.

Upside down, after all...

That looks a bit scary! Don't know if I could hang upside down. I got an exercise bike for Christmas - for my back!! Recommended by the physiotherapist who said the type of back problems I have can only be alleviated with bike riding and some exercises he prescribed - no swimming, no walking...
It seems we're both getting old with these back problems!
Enjoy your bbq.

Well, you can get used to hanging upside down, I´ve been on a professional one ages ago. This time it´s just the fear I didn´t do a proper enough job and the thing breaks.
Two left hands and such...
Aw, seesh, hope the biking helps!
Bbq was amazing in the sense of, wow how much some peeps can eat!
Was also yum :-)
