massage day

Lunch on the wall -

Turns out they said "lunges!"

Wearing the weighted vest 

whilst doing errands around the apartment

I had a Medical Massage Tuesday -

it was just wonderful -

after it was done, that is!

My arm feels so much better.

Still not 100% - but much better, thank you.

The Massage Therapist said his service is different 

from a "regular" massage, because

he doesn't just move lotion around.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

He really worked out some rough spots.

And is helping to correct some posture

problems I've developed.
That goes along with rotor cuff injuries.
Or rotator cuff, if you prefer!

Now I'm all into studying Anatomy again.

Much more detail than even in Nursing School.

Seems that years of slouching,

and carrying around lots of extra weight 

has made my shoulders rounded.

I mentioned in a previous post I lost

an inch of height that I'm just now getting back!

I've also started to sleep without a pillow -

Just a little neck roll.

And instead of a chair, I mostly

use a balance ball.

Especially for working online.

Getting more sleep is helping.

 I have a little "Quiet Down" routine at night -

About an hour before I need to be in bed,

I start to wind things down.... some candles,

a warm bath, and of course, GABA.

Seems to be helping!

Hope your day is wonderful!
