Well, I didn’t make it to Barwis on Thursday. I’ve decided that this heat is tiring. I’ve also decided that I’m tired of having MS. So, I was just TIRED. With the heat and having had MS for 15 1/2 years, I was just tired. Nick could see my tiredness on my face. He loosened my legs in my chair and helped me onto the table. He told me that we were going to do something, “a little different.”
He slowly stretched my leg as far as I could take it and pushed just a little bit further and he told me that he would just “hold” it there. It didn’t hurt and I liked it a lot. Him pushing it just a bit further and holding it allowed for me to feel a good stretch and for blood to flow freely. My legs started feeling warm and they loosened up nicely. Both of my legs stopped hurting and felt loose and I wished I could have that feeling all the time.
Nick is SO GOOD at his job and understands what he needs to do with me. He knew that I just needed to chill out today. I thought about Brock telling me that sometimes all I need is a stretch. That was the case on this day and I felt a little bit bad that it wasn’t going to stay but appreciated that I had the feeling at all. My legs felt warm and loose and I liked that!
