Hello Harpbird,
Effing stuff ain't it! I don't think I could say words strong enough. I can't help but to compare with others, & wonder why I complain... I know I complain because even if my pain is mild, on a daily basis, it it so irritating & frustrating.
I'm trying to continue my stretches. But I did some silly thing to my upper right arm & it's making the streches very difficult to do properly. But, there is slow improvement , to slow, I say, but while I do improve, I get cranky for complaining.
Recently I have bought a couple pairs of dumbbells, 1 & 2 kg, to also strengthen my arms & wrists, so they (the wrists) won't hurt so much (that's what the physio said), & to build some muscle up again in my arms. I don't like feeling weak in any sense, so I am taking to the weights better.
I did want so much to stretch, upon waking, but while I was too restricted to do so, I think , I learned how much I took it for granted. I might still get little cramps in some places, so I try to do it carefully. I guess these are signs of getting older.
I wish there were more things to do thanto try to distract you, me & anyone with persistant, ongoing pain.
I could try juggling some mmMarshmallows...give you a little giggle for a moment? Would you like some? With any luck, you might find my favourite mmMarshmallow!
I'm thinking, I got lucky, Monday last, having risked going to my Ophthalmologist's appointment at the big eye clinic, with all those Doctors, staff & patients & others... not being able to wear a mask, with concerns every time I need to go somewhere...but yeah, I don't think I have been infected , this time. It's Thursday now, & no symptoms turning up, 😸so I'm thinking it's unlikely.
Glad you've got your booster. I think it's a good time to have got it.😺
It is lovely to hear from you, even on a down day.
