Three days isn't so bad, I worked every night until I was exhausted and
it went on for weeks. So whilst at first I could only manage to dig
for, say, half an hour, by the end I was digging like a navvy until bed
time. Then the pond was dug and I just sat back with my G + T. Some
months later I couldn't stand up, walk, sit in a car without crying
with pain. (and I am built like a navvy!)

Months later! Isn't the body a strange thing? I hope it's not so bad
now, and that you can enjoy the fruit of your labours!!!
