I was late to Barwis yesterday. Like almost 20 minutes. Phil met me by the roll down door in front of my parking space. Yeah. I have one of those even though Jerome tries to cramp my style sometimes and doesn’t leave me a lot of room! But seriously, I DON’T have one of those but I park there almost every time I come to Barwis so that has been a lot since I’ve started parking in the back. I was having difficulty getting out of my car so Phil got my chair down and pulled me out of my car.
He started stretching me at the plyo boxes. He sat on the low box and I remained in my chair. My legs were EXTREMELY tight and the stretch was difficult! My mojo was all off because I was running so late so I asked Phil if he had a piece of gum because I didn’t change pieces when I got there as I always do. I am a chain gum-chewer. I chew the blue 5 gum. I chew it because Phil chews it and gave me a piece a while back and I REALLY dug the taste!!! I constantly chew gum because the vitamins that I take daily leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Phil left to get me a piece of gum from his office and shortly after, we went over to the white table. I sat on the table with my legs dangling over the side and Phil sat in my chair. He told me to relax my legs and kicked my feet a bit. We did some manual leg curls and then my time was up.
Phil pushed me out to my car and told me to get into my car by myself. He tells me that EVERY day! I was tired but decided that I was going to show him. I got up to my feet using the driver’s side door to brace myself. But, that was it. Phil pushed my hip so I was able to turn and sit almost in the driver’s seat. I looked at him triumphantly with a smile and he responded straight-faced, “Good that I gave you a f***ing shove.” I busted out laughing and he laughed too. I told him that I was going to name my blog post “F***ing Shove.” He stowed my chair and my legs had stiffened and I needed help getting them into the car. He leaned over and grabbed my right leg and said, “Bend-bend-bend-bend-bend-bend-bend.” I haven’t figured if it’s like he is calling a pig or encouraging a baby to do something. Either way, it makes me laugh! He repeated himself a few times for each leg until they obeyed. He gave me a good fist bump when I put my fist out and shut my door. I drove home tired and thought about they day when I walk again. It WILL happen but waiting is DIFFICULT!
