At the lady spa, it is mandatory to shower before going in the pools, and to shower after any scrub or massage service. And I shower after soaking, just so I don't smell like chlorine.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I keep pulling my right shoulder out of joint and feeling something get badly stretched inside. I'm nearly certain that my doctor will say to wear a sling for a while, until the swelling goes down, and then do physical therapy. I really don't want to have my right arm in a sling -- I'm right-handed, and my left hand is completely uncoordinated at doing anything.

Twenty four hours without a muscle relaxant OR pain meds. I even loaded the dishwasher and got that going this morning. Until today, bending over hurt worse than trying to walk.
Between follow-up PT appointments, a therapeutic massage, and my son turning 21, the next three days are going to be short work days. But I feel like I have seriously turned the corner back to human-dom again.

This seems relevant to our interests.

Soaking in a hot bath, especially with epsom salt, does help quite a bit when I can find the time to do it. Mom is here today and ltc just went down for a nap. So, I'm going to take one now, and hopefully it will reduce to urge to cut off my right leg, which has been killing me for a week.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love a hot bath and find it very helpful, but my aches and pains are pretty minor.

Yes, Epsom baths can be helpful. I'd take more but it usually requires cleaning the tubs, which is not something I want to do when hurting. I don't clean the tub as much as I should, and my roommate just cleaned it for the first time since we moved in in October (and I did that super crazy deep clean). I thanked him, because I try to still be a decent human, and he was proud like a five-year who remember to flush and watch his hands. Calm down, honey.

Is half a day's worth of work a reasonable time to call it quits and rest up before my doctor's appointment? I'm hitting the wall. Not pain, just endurance. Blech.

Suzi, iIhope you rested.

smonster - stupid ghost boy. Doesn't deserve you.
I tried to rest. Yesterday I felt pretty darned good. PT went well. Today, other than endurance, I felt pretty great. PT was more challenging, but went well. I went out to dinner with a friend and walking up the two garage steps back into my house and my hip decided it hates me yet again. I'm ready to cry. It took me forever to climb the stairs to my room and now I'm waiting for the muscle relaxant to kick in. And try not to cry.
