You Been Feeling All Right?
As you know, I love my massage therapist.
I missed my appointment two weeks ago because of illness so it’s been a full month since I visited with her.
She was working on my right calf when she asked.
“Are you feeling all right?”
“No more shittier than usual,” I said. “Why?”
“Your ankles are swollen and there’s a lot of swelling in your back.”
“Eh, what’re you going to do?”
“You’re in your 55th year, not your 25th year,” she said.
“So, you gotta’ work a little harder.”
She did. I was vastly improved when I walked out of there.
“Try not to destroy it all in one day,” she said.
I heard from my brother about a half hour later. We talked about his physical ailments and a recent surgery of an out of town family member.
It was a particularly invasive surgery on a pretty good guy who is too young to battle such a thing.
“Cancer sucks,” Jim said. “Nice to live your life and get that as a consolation prize, huh?”
We talked about stretching exercises and dietary choices.
“Keep battling,” I said.
“What the hell else can you do?”
I’ll tell you one thing:
The swelling in my back better stop...
...6 months without golf has made me a little cranky!
But it could always be worse, right?
