It is 3:00 AM. I have been awake about forty minutes. I have YOUTube on and I just saw the opening scene of Apocalypse Now, featuring the haunting song of The Doors, The End. I am in that kind of mood,
Now I’m watching a stripper from one of those campy revival troupes like Cin City Burlesque. There is a great deal of fun and silliness, and naive naughtiness to these routines. The antics displayed lighten my mood.
Upstairs she sleeps. And my side of the bed is pain. From my back. The sore muscles that never seem to stop aching. Downstairs is my chair, my cup of decaf, and my imagination fueled by my loneliness. I actually have the germ of a poem in my head about Christmas and the little things that make it what it is. Maybe tomorrow.
Have you ever considered going for a massage? I think you need the touch.
That is an excellent idea. I’ve thought about it, but I need to act on that thought.
I see a massage therapist 2times a month. Without her I wouldn’t be able to walk. She is a goddess amongst mortals.
Really? I have had two serious massages in my whole life. Who is your body worker? Does he/she work at a place like Massage Envy or what?
She works at a private studio where I live. She is going to set up a mobile business as soon as the studio closes.
I have Fibromyalgia, a lacerated disk, and all kinds of problems. She does cupping, which is really effective for loosening trigger points. I get deep tissue sometimes and a lot of light swedish style work.
The thing I love about my massage therapist is how in tune she is to my needs. She adapts to what my body is doing. Like if my muscles are spasming at her touch, she will apply deep pressure to get them to calm down.
I could go on and on. Lol
Great feedback. Thanks. I think I will seek a referral from my chiropractor. I haven’t used him since my spinal fusion.
Yeah he should know who can best treat you. I stopped seeing my pain MGMT doc and started going to her. It works better.
Thanks again.
