9.11.15 Stretchy

My appointment time for Barwis was moved back to 7 so we could pick up Sean from football practice before my time.  He accompanied us to Barwis so I wouldn’t be late.  Sean has been to Barwis with me before but it had been awhile and I HATE to be late!!!  Mike helped me onto the black table and had to leave to get something.  I laid on the table and took notice that my legs were mostly flat on the table.  They weren’t “boing”ing up.

I was comfortable with my legs completely  flat on the table.  Mike came back and stretched my legs out.  As he methodically did this, I felt what felt like a warm liquid tickle down my right leg beneath my skin.  Obviously, it was blood and it makes me feel so GOOD to feel that!  My legs relaxed A LOT.  Mike was kneeling on the table and explained how I was going to move my legs for the next PNF.  He said, “Because my legs were so stretchy.”  I laughed.  He ALWAYS says funny stuff!

My legs felt good overall and Mike was impressed with my showing for my PNFs.  I like feeling that slow trickle of liquid down my legs.  I don’t feel it ALL of the time or even enough to not notice it.  On friday, I felt encouraged that maybe someday soon – the blood will flow freely throughout my legs so I won’t feel it because it will take place ALL of the time.  But for now, I appreciated the “stretchy-ness” of my legs.
