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.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Suzi, iIhope you rested.
The Boy is ghosting, and I'm okay with that. Moving on…

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, Suzi, a setback like that is doubly frustrating. I hope the muscle relaxants do the trick.

Does soaking in hot water help any of your pains, folks with pains?
Medicinal baths are definitely my beautiful cake.
Epsom salts, baking soda and, when I've a mind, almond oil. OR, Kneipp bath oil if I'm fancy and someone has given it to me as a gift.
I totally get the squick factor, but the ease and comfort I get outweighs that for me. Plus, I make my own soft scrub (baking soda, dawn dishwashing liquid and a few drops of peppermint oil) which makes the whole scrubbing thing more enjoyable.
I honestly don't get how people live without bathtubs...which is an alarming trend these days...for so many things. But, specifically, I would not make it through the winter, or hard labor without one.
Just took one last night after some strenuous volunteering and it was a godsend.
One of my ultimate dreams is to have a soaking tub. I had one when I lived briefly in Denmark and it just about made my life.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ugh. Therapy is bullshit and all this self-awareness BLOWS. I had a pretty sweet deal with all that repression and denial.
This shit is the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm not sorry I'm doing it, but if I knew what I was getting into when I showed up for that first appointment, I wouldn't have had the courage to do it. It's helped, and it continues to be helpful, but it's like cleaning out road rash with a wire brush sometimes. It's the only way to heal, but Jesus Christ it's so painful getting there.
And thank you all for not telling me to shut up and stop complaining.

Didn't we just swear in Repression and Denial?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Technically I think the ticket was Denial/Repression, but close enough.
