Hello,
Yesterday my upper arm and shoulder
hurt. I even woke up early and could not go back to sleep because of it. Upon
rising I learned that it hurt to raise my arm. I had noticed some discomfort
for about two days before.
The muscle which knots up at the back
of my neck was rock solid, not a good sign. When I poked into the arm muscles a
hard rolling mass could be found. I started trying to use my arm against the
pain because it seemed like muscle stress to me. I do not like to favor that
place because I believe that stretching and working it is the solution. I had
not been doing much yoga and almost no Tai Chi. Not good!
Leroy used to give me forceful
messages for my neck/shoulder area. That has not happened for a long time,
maybe even a year or two. Yesterday he worked on those spots two or three
times. I also did a session of yoga. By the time I went to bed I could lift my
arm more comfortably. I was pleased as could be to wake this morning and find
the pain gone.
I did morning stretch live for the library.
Yoga is already on the schedule for tomorrow. No more slacking off for this
chick.
When Leroy and I walked this afternoon
Leroy smugly commented, “There is no ground hog out today.”
“Are you insinuating that I am the
reason that we do not see one?” I wondered.
He nodded just a bit. He has seen one
on each of his last two solitary walks. Humph!
Paula
