Phil came out to get me from my car at Barwis on Friday. Mr. Curl had to come out to get me from my car in the morning at work and then I was faced with a succession of a series of unfortunate events and then my shoe came untied. I felt like Tanya Harding after everything went down. I emailed Phil the link and I remember watching the Olympics when it happened. I was frustrated and could feel my legs tightening up all day at work.
Phil could feel it in my legs as well when he stretched them out at the Keiser machine. He started squeezing my calves and told me that he was messaging them to try to loosen them up. I looked at him and shook my head and said, “Ow! That hurts!” He stopped and told me to go to the table.
He put me on the table and I laid on my back. I kept exclaiming, “Ow!” because it hurt. To divert my attention from the pain,I told him that Sean’s first word was, “Ow.” I told him that a lot of people told me that that didn’t count as a word but I disagreed because he knew when to use it and with the proper inflection. I was still walking back then but I was becoming a bit wobbly. I bumped into a lot of things and dropped a lot of things on my feet. I always would say, “Ow!” So Sean knew to say it when he fell down when he was walking or when he would bump in to things. So, it counted.
Phil told me to roll over on to my stomach. Doing this got A LOT of “Ows.” Phil always asks me where it hurts and I can never answer because I am in so much pain. I think it hurts most in my quads but also in my hips and lower back because my legs are used to being in the sitting position. Whatever the reason, IT HURTS!!! Ow!!!
Phil put me back into my chair and after 3 attempts to do it myself, he put me into my car as well. He, “Joystick”ed me and closed my door. As I drove home, my legs began to relax but I guess it is better late than never, right?
