Yesterday, my training was moved until 7 at Barwis. I arrived there early because it is really hard to gauge traffic on Plymouth Road now that I-96 is closed. I watched a group of girls train with Phil. I found out from one of the girls that they are the Northville Rush (soccer). I thought it was funny to watch Phil interact with all of these little girls. I was reminded of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop. I saw Phil training a men’s hockey team once and he was yelling encouragement to a man lifting weights and had this intense face on. I told him when he wa stretching ne out then that I had never seen his “mean face” before. He smiled and said, “it’s a different kind of the training.” Well, I guess that my training is different from a group of little girls as well. It still was enjoyable to watch; another woman who was training agreed with me.
My legs were REALLY tight yesterday but I was able to stand 4 times before we headed to the table to stretch. They were sturdy stands. It is getting easier to stand. Almost feels normal. Phil then started stretching me out. That hurt! I hope it gets easier soon. It REALLY stinks not being able to control your body!
Phil took me out and I was able to get into the car ALL BY MYSELF very slowly. Phil had to help me with my legs. We did the weird hand-grabby thing before he yelled, “Joystick!” and shut my door. I keep telling myself that every little bit is progress as I drove home.
