The car accident my wife and I were in 2 months ago messed my wife and I both up worse than we originally thought. My doctor referred me to a neurologist and I had MRI of my neck and lower back last week. Tomorrow I should find out if I have to have another back surgery. I had surgery on my back for a ruptured disc in Dec of '08, so my doctor is always worried about my back.
Anyway, two months later I'm still having back and neck pains and it's keeping me from getting a full detailing fix. Today, the weather was perfect for detailing. It was sunny and 65 or so. I thought I was going to finish the projects I started last week, but I just didn't have the energy. I managed to wash both cars, work a little on the stains on the front seat of my car, and vacuum and dress the wife's interior and clean the engine bay.
I was planning to hit both cars with the polisher again as the bright sun today revealed swirls that I hadn't been able to see last week because it was cloudy. Both cars also needed to be waxed and my wheels really needed a good scrubbing. I just didn't have the energy to do it all and my neck and back wouldn't stop aching long enough for me to finish things to the level I wanted them.
In the past, detailing has been a good stress valve for me, but now it seems like it's another source of stress because I can't do as much I could in the past my cars aren't up to par. That bugs me really bad because I know that when I am feeling better it will be twice the work to get the cars where I want them because I haven't been able to keep them up.
I keep telling my self it's not the end of the world, but every time I see the swirls I get bugged all over again.
