m_d_hThree weeks ago, I was here, at the condo, I was hangin' out on the sofa, that's all! leaning on my right elbow, when the bursa in my right shoulder ... broke? Ugh. It was so random, I wasn't doing anything unusual. I gave it space for a week, then resumed my weight lifting workout ... ugh ...
I think there's a relationship between my weight lifting workout, and the hangin' out on the sofa injury. And now it's three weeks later.
I'm doing my own physical therapy. Dynamic stretches, static stretches, rest, movement, and yesterday I did a weight lifting routine with, LOL 2-pound weights.
2-pound weights! Didn't hurt while doing it, and seemed to help the shoulder afterward.
Yeah.
doin' my own physical therapy, that's what it's like getting older ... a month previously I'd woken here at the condo with a seriously upset thumb joint, WTF, it was red, swollen, painful,
arthritis? gout? did I jam it and didn't remember?
the weird thing about these body issues as I age, is that they aren't necessarily directly connected to their causes in time, I only find out later, when, ouch!
I've been to physical therapy enough times, I know how to do it to myself, and it seems to be working ... the main thing I'm missing is regular massage, but that seems impossible during Quarantine,
-----
Sigh, I remember that hot massage therapist I had way back then, while K lived in Madrid, heh, we fucked, Nick, yeah, "Pup Charger", heh, Sigh, I don't have to fuck every massage therapist,
so many things I cannot do because of Quarantine, because our country keeps fucking this up, I just gotta wait for the Vaccine

I have asthma, so we bought blood oxygen monitors in case of COVID-19, and even on a good day I have way less blood oxygen than I should.
But I can run several miles in a row! I can lift weights, I can do these Body by Dax dance videos, heh. I'm in good shape. But my lungs ...
My way of managing aging is this: keep on exercising. It's working so far. But sometimes the exercise causes injuries, but I think if I didn't exercise it would be worse, so. Yeah. Doin' my own PT.
