Jun. 26th, 2019 11:16 pmScott’s father arrived around 10:00 this morning. He mostly worked on pruning. I’d hoped to get him to focus on the raised beds in front of the house, but he didn’t touch them. He’s of the opinion that we’re organizing our garage Wrong.
He drove me to my appointment this afternoon. We discovered on the way that there’s construction on State St. It didn’t affect our route getting there, but it complicated my trip home because it meant that the bus I wanted was seriously detoured.
This appointment was a referral for biofeedback and meditation to make my muscles relax. After getting a bunch of readings on my trapezius muscles and my neck, she said she couldn’t do anything for me. My muscles are tight but not tense. She seemed to find that very weird. She’s going to talk to my physical therapist to see if the PT has suggestions for things she might usefully do for me. If not, we’ll cancel.
I hope that I can point to this in the future to avoid doctors telling me that my pain will improve if I relax. This tightness may not be something I can do much about because my joints will give out before my muscles stretch. This is also not a problem of my muscles being too weak.
I decided that I didn’t want to cross Eisenhower after the appointment, so I walked along it toward S. Industrial. That was where the detoured bus was going. I wandered further and ended up catching the inbound Packard bus instead of either of the S. Industrial buses. I walked between four and five kilometers.
I’d probably have walked farther if it had been earlier in the day.
