Off to a sleepless start
230a, couldn’t sleep, uncomfortable, warm – tossing and turning. Long night, going to be a long day.
It’s 337a, and I’m thinking of applying the second coat of stain on the cabinet top in a few minutes, I may talk myself out of it.
Success, went back back go sleep, sort of, got up and applied coat number two. My morning research leads me to believe I may be dealing with a quadratus lumborum (QL) issue. After rolling my QL’s over a massage ball this morning, I felt some relief – the right hamstring is still an issue, can’t really straighten it, see what happens with my afternoon stretches. The QL seems to be more likely than a herniated disc, based primarily on the recovery time. The symptoms are similar, but if I remember correctly, my last bout with this kept me out for two to three weeks, which seems to be an awfully quick recovery from a disc that is herniated, hence the reason I started a journal – I’d like to be able to look things up, like past injuries, so I can recount what it was like, how I recovered, and most importantly, how long it took to recover.
Koodo SIM card arrived today along with my new Skechers – can’t bring myself to open the Skechers yet – it’ll be a treat when I can put them on again.
Smoothie for breakfast, pizza for lunch, Chinese takeout for supper – has to end at some point. Tomorrow we clear coat the last section of cabinet top and concentrate on massaging/stretching the QL and hamstrings. Feeling a little better this evening after massaging/stretching both.
