I felt better on Wednesday but my legs started to tighten up as I laid back on the blue table. I told Mike that that usually happens but it’s good because he’s there to make me feel better. We did a form of hypers where he had me lay back as far as I could from a sitting position and then sit up. I did those really well and I was proud of myself!!! Apparently, all of those crunches that I’ve been doing (the idea originated with Jesse, continued with Phil, and now I just keep it up out of habit).
Then he put a big medicine ball between my knees as he worked on my abductors. I could feel the muscles working in my butt and outer thighs. We worked some more and the feeling I was feeling changed into pain. It was a sore muscle pain that really is a good thing. We finished and Mike had me scoot to the edge of the table so he can put me back in my chair. I began to feel sick so I told him to hang on a minute. I have only felt sick at Barwis a few times but I remember Phil telling me that it was a good thing so… I just waited for the sick feeling to leave so I’d be sure not get sick everywhere.
Mike took me outside and I was able to “Stand, grab, turn, and sit” ALL ON MY OWN AGAIN.!!! Mike just has to get my feet in but it’s good that my knees bend on their own now. I woke up Thursday morning to my legs hurting but it took me a few minutes to realize that the hurting wasn’t just pain but sore muscle pain and that’s a good thing.
