Yesterday, I woke up NOT feeling well. Having MS for SO long (going on 14 years), I always wake up with some discomfort but I couldn’t remember feeling this badly. I got up and got ready for work. I was extremely slow in the shower and getting dressed. I sat at the table for a LONG time before I even put my contacts in. Man – this is rough!!! When I got to work, 3 people told me that I looked “tired.” “Tired” is code word for I look like sh*t and EVERYONE knows it! But I felt it so there was NO arguing. I texted Phil that I wanted to cry – not even scream – just cry.
I told Mike that my body hurt which was A LOT different from last week but it’s the perils of having MS. This stinks! Mike stretched me out extremely well on the blue table. It was QUITE intense at times but I gasped and breathed through it and Mike didn’t let up. My legs loosened up and he had me bend my knees and move both of my knees/hips from side to side. He put me into my chair and took me outside.
I went through Phil’s 4 step process again and I WAS ABLE TO DO IT!!! Mike helped me with my feet but my knees bent on their own and I told him that he was lucky that he didn’t have to do Phil’s “bends.” I drove home with my legs relaxed and my hips and outer thighs kind of hurt but it’s a good pain NOT like the morning!
It has rained ALL DAY today as well. Man – this is ROUGH!!!
