I felt a little bit better as I drove to Barwis. I didn’t feel as tight as I was feeling the previous week. I texted Phil and he opened the door for me. An intern came to help me a bit and she pushed me into the building to by the chairs to wait for Phil. When he was done and it was my time, he pushed me to the plyo boxes. Just a stretch. I knew it. That fact wasn’t so surprising to me.
Phil began with my left leg. It wasn’t as tight as last week but it still was pretty tight. My right leg was a little bit looser but not much. After some time, Phil told me to bring my left knee to my chest. It has been easier in the past but it was kind of smooth. I exclaimed, “ALMOST like butta!” My right leg was the same. It wasn’t SUPER difficult but it wasn’t as smooth as it HAS been in the past. “ALMOST like butta!” Phil mimicked me each time I said it but my legs DID begin to loosen up.
When my time was over, Phil pushed me outside. I was able to stand but not able to move into my car. After 3 tries, Phil put me in my car. The “bends” were a harmony this time. I started with my favorite variations of Phil’s “bends” as Phil was giving a new variant of them. The fact that we BOTH were saying it, made me laugh harder! My legs felt better than when I got to Barwis but they still kind of hurt as the cold sets in further. I slept most of the night but not all of it last night. I really have been thinking about how difficult things are now…but it has to get worse before it gets better… Right?
