I felt A LOT better on Friday! First of all, I was on time so that immediately set well with me. I did NOT feel limber (I don’t remember feeling that way) but I felt less tight than I did on Wednesday. I wasn’t going to give up; I KNEW that by Friday. I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy, it HASN’T been easy – FAR from it; but I knew that I wasn’t going to stop trying. I think I’ve gotten that perseverance from my parents. I’m still not driving but I hope I will soon.
I was working with just Nick today and he started working on my calves as I sat in my chair. Immediately when he grabbed my right leg and lifted it up, there it was… I had cankles in full effect! I groaned and asked Nick what that could be from and if it was permanent. He shook his head, shrugged, and told me that it could be the weather and started rubbing my calves to get the blood flowing to my calves and ankles. Whaddya know? It rained ALL night and ALL day Saturday. I COMPLETELY felt that!!!
But, Friday, Nick worked methodically on both of my legs eventually making them both feel A LOT better. We didn’t do PNF stretches until I was on my stomach and pushing and pulling when he told me to, I felt A LOT stronger than I have in a while! When I started working at Barwis almost 2 years ago, I didn’t think it would take this long or be this difficult but I’m going to stick with it no matter how long it will take. What can I say? I’m a “lifer” with the occasional cankles to boot but I think it will be worth it in the long run. “Little by little…” right? and I feel the “little” so I’ll just keep trying until that “little” becomes “a lot.”
