Thursday, August 28: Massage for Shoulder. No Yoga.

Well, I woke up this morning after half decent sleep actually was a decent sleep. I got up talk to Mary for a while. I already decided not to go to yoga today cause to let my shoulder heal. I went to Mike’s and the nurse came over and his high blood pressure was a little bit high, but he was all right. I then did a little bit of cleaning and then ended up going to sports massage with Dylan Massage. His approach is a little bit different. He wasn’t quite as hard as the previous guy had and and he suggested that go Group chiropractor perhaps for about my vertebrae it might the vertebrae might be pinching the nerve possibly. I felt a little bit better, but I could tell that it wasn’t gonna go away right away and then went back to Mike’s put away his mom‘s Meals had some lunch and then headed off to Mary’s to do some relaxation exercises and to pick up some laundry. well, I got the laundry and Mary had the room all set up with the blocks and the blanket for me to do two relaxation poses to get my muscles to relax. It felt pretty good, but my muscles are still pretty tense. There’s just bullshit going on with my back. Mary got home around 6:05 PM and we hung out and talked. We then had these bowls that were easy to cook. We just microwaved them and eat them. It was perfect because I wanted some food to get the chill out of me so I put on lung pants and I put on a long sleeve shirt along with my sweat jacket I think I’m fighting off a cold, but I’m not sure or could just be the stress of my body rebelling on my right shoulder rotator cuff and scapula. I’m now heading to theCODA meeting which I missed yesterday. I’m on the computer. Well, I made it to the meeting. I needed a lot of help with the computer and I felt my fever and the area right below. My clavicle was particularly sore to the point where stretching my back arms backwards was very uncomfortable. I caught the 49 bus at 9:23 PM, which is its new time. I miss that bus. There is no point in taking SEPTA Thank you For your time on this matter!!! Anyhow, after bombing against the Mets and losing three in a row, getting swept, the Phillies took out their frustrations on the brave scoring 18 runs. Somebody must’ve given him a good talking to.

Wednesday, August 27: Shoulder issues, feels like fall

Well, last night I did sleep and I slept sound like which was really really a relief. This is however I did not mean that my shoulders feeling any better in fact I feel like I’ve regressed with my shoulder. I don’t know what happened so we’ll see what happens there. Anyway, back to Mike I ended up getting prescription for him and then I also went to Mary’s to pick up my charging cord and charge my phone. I did attempt to take a nap but it was a little too cool for my shoulders so I skipped that idea. There was another mass shooting in Minnesota today this time at a Catholic school. We don’t do shit about gun control. We’re not even close to getting it cause we can’t even get it when Democrats have control and the way things are going we may never have control again if Trump and his minions have their way.Back to my shoulder keeping it covered does help a lot. I called my doctor about being seen again. It’s a good thing. I have physical therapy starting on Friday at the McGee rehab so that should be helpful. I think I’ll be skipping the 530 class and going straight to the end. Might be the wise move. Then again the heat really does give me some relief. Stiffness is one thing with pain to hold another animal. Gonna hang out at Mary‘s and relax for a minute before making a final decision on that. Well, it was very obvious that I should skip class so I skipped Yoga and went to Yin and while I was at Yin my shoulder kicked up again and I decided right then and there that I would take the rest of the month of August off from Yoga and hope and pray that that rehab will help and that it’ll subside a little bit. Fucking sucks! Anyway, in was really good and I enjoyed that.

Tuesday, August 26: Mild w/Stiffness

Good day everybody I woke up this morning a little earlier than I wanted to because my back was really stiff from yesterday‘s situation. When I just woke up yesterday and suddenly had a really stiff shoulder I didn’t really do anything overdone but anyway enough of that, I cope with it and got up and did my thing. Got the Mike’s the nurse came by Wasn’t the regular nurse Nicole‘s this African-American woman who just has the attitude like let me in here and let me to get the hell out. It went OK though. Overall, some pretty quiet at Mike. He measured himself with his heart measuring machine by himself before I show up, which is cool. He did manage to walk three times so far today it’s not 1:36 PM. I decided I’d go out and take an extended walk And sit outside because it’s a perfect day to be outside. You know it’s a tad cool but it’s a kind of weather. You can wear long pants or short pants. We’re hitting that season where the weather is pretty good. No moves on the septic funding at all Trump‘s being an asshole and threatening people and trying to fire someone on the Federal Reserve see a black woman. People are talking about him dying, but I think that’s all wishful thinking. That’s what that is. Well, I took a walk while Mike was out sleeping and it was a glorious day to take a little walk. It was good. I’m pretty tired right now. I was gonna take a nap and then suddenly Tony showed up the physical therapist so we took a walk and Mike actually turned the corner and walked a little further than he had. It’s the best kind of day to walk. It’s not hot. It’s not cold. It’s now 3:16 PM. It’s a heck of a day. Anyhow, Tony’s really good and he’ll be back on Thursday. I kind of wish I’d been able to take that nap that I had planned on. 3:40 PM I just logged in for Tina‘s class and I’m walking up Lombard Street. I actually wore my sweatshirt it’s actuallymore convenient to wear it than try to stuff it or wear it around my waist. anywhere I wore my coat and went to the 4 PM class with Tina. She asked me how my shoulder was doing and and I said yeah, I had some serious stiffness and she said to be careful and I ended up modifying various moves, especially after the first three poses, which were tougher than normal for me today. But after modifications, I made it through the class all right right now the back feels OK but it is daytime and I’m just going to

hope I can sleep through it right now at 6 o’clock we’re gonna go to a meeting that starts at 7 PM. well, I went to the meeting. It was less attended than the week before. It was a pretty good meeting. Then Mary and I went back and made us self some veggie burgers, which are pretty tasty. I must say it tastes really good. Meanwhile, the Phillies were losing against the Mets against 6 to 5 and we watched the Law and order. That was really really good. Didn’t wanna watch another one because I wanted to make sure I got enough sleep….
