Phil came to get me out of my car. He pushed me right over to the plyo boxes. There were 4 boxes against the wall and they were all the SAME size! I was confused! Good thing Phil sat on the box and I stayed in my chair. My legs were REALLY tight! Phil stretched me for 45 minutes and then asked how I feel. I was STARTING to feel looser but not quite. He told me to go over to the mat and we would stretch more there.
I didn’t argue or feel defeated because my body hasn’t felt very good since my relapse and the stretching hurts a little but it ALWAYS feels better in the end. I wheeled up to the mat and kind of slid out of my chair to which Phil said that I looked like sludge. I made it on to the mat all on my own and Phil started stretching me out more hard-core than at the plyo boxes. It kind of hurt but I felt my legs loosening up. I remembered when Jesse told me the first time he REALLY stretched me that he had to break the ice around my muscles. I guess my legs have re-frozen and Phil is an icebreaker too.
As Phil and I went out to my car, I told him that my legs kind do felt like Jell-O. I got in to my car mostly by myself and we just kind of gave each other five in a weird grabby thing way because neither one of us attempted a “Joystick.” As I drove home, my legs felt REALLY relaxed and that felt good. I am okay with just having a training session with stretching because now I know that stretching is progress too! The walking WILL come and even as I write this my legs STILL feel REALLY good!
