hello missliz. hello ladies. the PT is going good. i had my second appt. last thursday and have another this friday. it is a little better. each appt. she is giving me more homework to do. now, every hour i have to do a sort of back bend in addition to my regular back stretches 3 times a day. she does a little deep tissue massage first to get the joints and muscles flooded so they respond to the "pretzel bending". my right butt was soooo tight i couldn't believe it. she had to get her elbow into it to get deeper. it almost brought tears to my eyes. but it felt great. and i told her so. i haven't had the acute pain since i have been doing the "every hour" stretches. i am amazed at how tight i get and how fast it happens. i just wish i could learn how to do the "pretzel" thing at home so i could feel that deep stretch every day. she is one strong lady. and a jock like the rest of us. she has a real affinity for athletes all shapes and sizes.

all is good. but i am sad because i haven't been out on the bike in two weeks. but spin class is a great alternative. i always believe, even if the weather is bad, staying in shape is most important.

my birthday is sunday the 22nd. i WILL be on the bike that day for sure. the "princess" gets to do whatever i want that day. well, it's always that way every other day too. heee, heeee
