6.10.15 “Wacky Sock Wednesday” #18 OR Chips and Salsa

My Mom drove me to Barwis on Wednesday because my right leg REALLY hurt so I didn’t want to drive.  Sean (he came with us) commented on how different it looks when we got there.  Nick came over to get me and shook my mother’s hand (Sean was already seated).  Nick pushed e over to the black table but had me stay in my chair to knead my calves and knuckle my thighs.  The blue table came available so we moved there.  Heather helped me transfer to the table and I laid down as Nick swung my legs (by grabbing my ankles) around to the short side of the table.

He told me that my legs felt tight when he was kneading my calves and he was working on me by himself.  He asked Heather (who was now on the other side of the gym) if she was going to help stretch me.  She agreed and then came over.  Even though I am neither Cuban nor Puerto Rican, I am Latin so I pointed to her and Nick and said, “You be the Chips, and I’ll be the salsa so were “Chips and Salsa!” They both went/are going to Central (CMU) so they are Chippewas.  She laughed and worked my left leg alternating with Nick who worked my right.

It was warm at Barwis and Nick asked if I wanted a towel before we started working.  I just shook my head thinking that I may just “glisten” a bit.  I couldn’t figure out why the PNF stretches were SO difficult this time but it REALLY was.  It was difficult as I laid on my back but it was EXTREMELY difficult as I laid on my stomach.  He asked if I needed a towel again when we were done.  Apparently, I had graduated from glistening to full-out sweating during the PNF stretches.  I shook my head and wiped my face by putting my head in my shirt.

I was SO tired!!!  I almost forgot to take a picture of my socks for “Wacky Sock Wednesday” #18.  i had Sean snap the picture just before I left.  I really dig Munch’s painting and dig being able to get it in socks.  Megan liked them too!  Nick put me in my car and I was grateful that I wasn’t driving!  I fell asleep on the way home.
