I arrived to Barwis just in time to begin. Phil pulled the mat out of the corner to begin our infamous stretch. It still hurt like anything regardless of Phil’s attempts to calm me with his repetitive, “Shhh” and, “Woosah.” I asked him if it will always hurt this badly and he said, “Probably.” Well, that stinks!
After the stretch, it was time to kneel. I didn’t feel that my kneeling was better than last week’s but Phil told me that it was better than last time. He knows. I can’t see myself and he CAN. I ended up kneeling for 8 minutes this time. I knelt 12 times for 30 seconds each time and twice for 1 full minute each time. Phil then lifted me off of the mat to put me back into my wheelchair and pushed me over to where my coat and things were. I was SO tired!
Phil took me out to my car and I tried to get in by myself but Phil had to put me in. We fist bump once I’m in and I tried to, “Joystick” him but couldn’t. He told me that I did a good job and Shut my door. I was SO TIRED! I left and on my way home, the “numbness” in my legs was replaced with the all too familiar pain in my butt! I have had continuous pain in my butt, quads, and hamstrings for a few weeks now. It’s a “good” pain though and it lets me know that I am working hard to walk and the lower half of my body is too! It’s been SO long that I have felt ANY muscle in my legs. Now, I feel ALL OF THEM but I’ll take it because it’s FEELING and that’s a good thing!
