I managed to do what Doyle (my PT person) requested every day between June 23 and now. Only two days were partially completed and one was skipped, the rest were the full routine. What is my reward? Two more exercises added to the daily sets! I think Doyle is trying to kill me or get me prepared to participate in a triathlon. Being put on the rack for heresy against the boring World Cup in South Africa is looking more desirable.
In all seriousness, the PT is making progress. Much like Somara’s situation with her vertigo, it’s going to take weeks, even months. I did complain about the “heavy gravity” sensations around my lower back I experienced last weekend; I’ve never walked on Jupiter or flown on the space shuttle yet I think that’s what it must feel like if I were an astronaut or fighter pilot. Doyle had a better explanation for why the pain continues unlike when I was younger; my lifestyle/career is more sedentary with a big dose of stress. Bullseye there. How I miss PE for first period of my senior year in high school, they should make it mandatory in college.
At least he got back from Las Vegas for his vacation! He and his family stayed at Harrah’s on the Strip (good location, not much else in my opinion). I asked him how his overall experience was since NV has 14 percent unemployment (probably higher in Clark County). Doyle replied that it isn’t as noticeable around the Strip and the busiest casino at the time was the Flamingo.
What’s next? I will go back for session number four during the final half of my upcoming vacation. Should the pain return to the point of being unbearable, I do get one free refill on the funny-sounding painkillers. Meanwhile, I will need to get out of bed another five-minutes earlier to get these Y and T reps in; no, not the short-lived Metal band Y&T, they’re stretches which pull on my shoulder blades.
Keep at it bud and I hope you feel you’re in tip top shape for your vacation. I hope you have a great time!!!! Sounds like you are following the program so it is bound to help. Who knows, you might get more inspired to create an exercise routine. This is the only way I can get stress out of me and it really works. I even think about work and find solutions while exercising while decreasing my stress. In any event, this is my experience, I know that does not always work for everyone else so it’s my two cents for an even healthier living. Don’t get me wrong I still can do a lot more. Enjoy Vegas!!!!
