brightlotusmoonOh, look. I almost threw out my back and I almost dislocated both hips and I almost misaligned a knee and I almost sprained a wrist and I almost tore a neck muscle. That's what I get for playing around in the backyard garden, on slippery slate and granite, while it is damp and drizzling.
However, 'almost' is a very important word. The most important word right now.
My left ankle hurts. My left wrist hurts. My right knee is absolutely screaming.
Braces, salves, balms, heating pads, ice packs, and good drugs are awesome!
I have several canes. I can use two at a time. I have at least one back brace and at least one heating pad and several ice packs. I don't need to actively go anywhere for a few days. I know self-massage in various ways - Reiki, Quantum Touch, Qi Gong, Shiatsu - which I adjust and manipulate to fit my own body. My personal meditative techniques for Mind Over Body work fairly well when I draw energy from various places.
Also! This right here is a fantastic example of my family's semi-famous Sloppy Luck.
Sometimes I startle myself at how well I manage to work on myself after unexpected injuries.
The one thing I'm missing is chocolate ice cream. I think I'll live. But I'll pout.
Also, this is going to bring about a mightily insane fibromyalgia flare. Yay?
Oh! Oh! Also, I DO ask for advice and stories this time. Especially regarding self-massage and meditative exercises. Maybe you guys can tell me something I haven't thought about. I don't know if I need to stretch or exercise! I don't know how to position my legs and knees! Should I take a break from typing? I wish for discussion.
