Frequency Of Breaks (getting Numb On Long Drives)

Ryan brings up a great point... a wallet stowed in the back pants pocket can absolutely contribute to back issues when you sit on it. I strongly believe in chiropractic, twice a month whether I need it or not.

I quit carrying my wallet in my back pocket about 40 years ago myself and Michael doesn't carry his in his back pocket and only in his front pocket when he is walking.

I should go to a chiropractor more often, mine made it too high tech to make an appointment. Around 1985 I had a back injury at work where I was barely able to even walk and saw a chiropractor under an emergency basis that afternoon with no help but he told me to come back at 7am the next morning and that did the trick, 90% of pain was gone instantly. My dad had a couple of falls in his 90s and I took him to a chiropractor after he suffered lack of mobility for a week or so each time and that made a believer out of my sister and uncle. Michael does see a chiropractor but not as often as he should, I suppose.

Ditch the wallets. This will do nothing except provide spinal issues and a wear mark on your jeans. Every ID and card goes into this plastic ID Card holder. If I need it, I put it into my pocket leaving the truck. It's as automatic for me now as putting on a seatbelt. I buy a box of these at a time at Best Buy or Walmarts. I currently have 11 cards in there.

While driving it stays here.

Another idea to add to what PackRat does, put a spare key in there also. I’m a firm believer in carrying a spare key in my wallet (and I don’t keep it in my pocket while driving), and having a hide-out key somewhere on the tractor. Putting a hide-out key on the trailer, not such a great idea. Lol.

Harvey, perhaps Michael could find more people to kick him in the butt. It’s been scientifically proven that gettin kicked in the butt dramatically improves blood flow to the butt and to the brain. Just trying to be helpful.

He no longer allows me to do that and is much larger and stronger than me. I'll volunteer you to do that.

I always keep my wallet in my front left pocket. Michael always takes his out when he sits down here at home or in his truck yet I've never seen him be without it when he needed it, got his habit down.

When he first started driving he had upper back pain and his chiropractor focused mostly on posture correction (including exercises) that took care of that but he needs to take breaks more for both his and Ginger's sake.
