Massage is not always Relaxing

Photos from San Diego are slowly making their way onto the flickr page. More as I have time!

In the wake of our hit and run accident in Ohio, I've been prescribed several more weeks of massage therapy. Yay for benevolent doctors who realize that massage is not just for relaxation and spa weekends!

My massage therapist, Rose, is a gentle grandmotherly sort who looks at the whole picture rather than just the bits that hurt. She follows the pain along its various paths through my muscles and coaxes them into their original shapes.

It hurts like hell when she's done. Not when she's working, but afterwards when I get home. That's when I thank my lucky stars for pain medication!

Of the massage therapists that I've seen (for the Casa Guadalajara accident and now this), Rose is my favorite. While I know I'll be in pain when the session is over, the next day or two brings murch more relief than I had before I'd seen her. She fixes the whole body, not just the broken bits.

Time to shower and change for work now. Aloha!

You didn't stay long enough at my place to get your Christmas gifts! Yarrrrrr!

But that's ok, I never got mine, either, ahaha!

OSM was happy to see you and really disappointed you didn't visit longer. Goober.

OSM had eyes for no one but Chris, which was cool :)

Did he go to Cyd's recital?
