Seeing these engines run for hundreds of thousands of miles I doubt you've done any damage or at least none anyone would ever notice. My truck is at 205k and I know the oil was rarely changed before I got it because of the sludge build up. Now that it's all cleaned up it still runs well and does not seem to burn oil.
I hope your neck gets better. I'm 53 and hope to still enjoy wrenching 20 or 30 years from now.
