I had to get up early because I’m having an EMG test conducted. It’s in Jefferson Hospital land which means I have to go to 25 S.
9th St. Plenty of time but
the 17 bus to show six minutes early in the elevator took forever to catch cause everybody’s leaving for work. Some woman on the seventh floor was looking at her phone
and I yelled
at “seventh floor.“ She called the elevator I ended up missing the bus and walking at chestnut Street. Fortunately the bus came fairly quickly. I just called back fairly quickly for the EMT appointment.
They did
some motion test. She took a look at my wing scapula and this test has two parts some kind of nerve
diode thing and then the acupuncture needles. This is the
second part. I just finished the EMG. It was pretty intense. Yes I have nerve
damage on both sides. The left side. I have it on my rotator cuff, on my right side.
I have it near my scapula. They don’t know if the nerves will recover or not. They have no idea there’s nothing
they can really do about it. I have this syndrome called
Parsonage Turner syndrome. Yeah, I feel pretty beat
up right now but at least I know what I have just do PT till I’m dead, I guess. Anyhow, I rested
afterwards. I walked all the way back and I lied down to Mike’s bed for a minute
looked at TikTok videos and drank some super coffee to offer me blessed relief. I talked with Mary and
Mike. Mike is definitely getting out of the hospital
today around 1 o’clock. Mary then came over to Mike’s place and we did some further
organizing and cleaning before you got home. We put the bookshelf
where the clothing was and put the clothing where the bookshop bookshelf
was right behind Mike so he can grab his own clothes. We then talk
to Mike for a while. Mary and I walked back to her place and I picked up my yoga
clothes and walked all the way back to
Mike’s to sign out by 3:30 PM. Well, I went to class and Lupe was teaching.
This is one week since I came to my first class and loopy taught it. I did
my usual, not using my arms and shoulders routine. I’m starting to routine
it, but it still feels different. Afterwards, we hung out at the studio
and we talked to Evan. He’s going away to perform out in California. So he’ll
be gone the entire month of July. I went to my CODA meeting
After sleeping till about 9:15 AM, it’s time to get up and get a massage of my hamstring and other muscles 
in near my leg and gluteus maximus and my lower back. So I wobbled over downtown to 1518 Walnut St. It was 
gloriously sunny this morning it was a little cool, but it was very bright and sunny for the second day of spring. I went to the massage session. Oh my God 
I don’t know how sports athletes do what they do cause my hamstrings were just like tight as hell. That’s all 
I can say. It was a good session, but there were some parts that were so tight. Unbelievable. I talked to Mary and she wanted some coffee 
so I went to the Montreal spread baker bakery, and got some coffee for both of us and came back to her 
place within went hotel shopping in Anchorage and after about two hours, we found a place to stay 
that was reasonably priced for Alaska standards. Alaska is a very expensive place to go. Everything’s 
jacked up in the summer. I guess because they can’t do anything in the winter because it’s half of. It’s 
in the Arctic Circle. We then went to Mike’s and Mary help me make his bed. Was a lot easier having her around 
do it cause I was frustrated. And then picked up some garbage and and then we walked over to byron’s 4 o’clock class. 
That was a good class. It was on the third floor. Some of his yoga student students were there as well. It’s now 6:17 PM. . I left my phone in the Yoga studio 
unfortunately byron was there to answer the phone. I was able to get my phone. Next, we decided to go to
Trader Joe’s and get these bowls and my favorite is the Cuban style bowl. We bought about nine or 10 of them so it’ll be stocked. It looks like there’s a special Indian holiday so the Indian stores might be closed often on this coming week. Anyhow, we discussed Alaska and 
watched Law and order and a movie called insomnia which takes place in Alaska. It has Al Pacino and Heather Swank 
in it. It was made in 2002 which is over 20 years ago, which is interesting. Anyhow, we’re slowly making 
plans for the last step. There’s a lot involved with it.
