icepixieI have little to say about recent episodes of Agent Carter and X-Files, save this: Leave it to Glen Morgan to make a chirpy mid-twentieth century song COMPLETELY CREEPY. Heh.
My Bronze Moves in the Field test is tomorrow morning. The scheduling gods smiled on me again and it's not until nine o'clock. (It could've been as early as six.) I was originally going to take the day off, but then NIH decided to have a conference call I really need to attend that day, so it's off to work for me once I'm done. Then back to the rink that evening to practice and meet/possibly do some kind of group class with a dance coach BF is trying to recruit to the area.
Hopefully my abdomen will hold up. PT has been rough lately. My therapist is having me regularly massage these two spongy lumps that have appeared in either lower corner of my abdomen, and I think I did it too hard on Tuesday. I felt the right one (the more painful one) squish under my fingers. The fact that it was still there when I came back to it a few seconds later, and the fact that it's able to be felt whether I'm lying down or standing up, suggest that at least it's not a hernia, but I'm not sure a so-far intractable set of knots is much better. Coupled with new butt and ab exercises my therapist gave me, I'm hurting a good chunk of the time. And I'm almost out of tramadol. :(
We had a lot of trouble finding exercises that would target the muscles she wants to target. We went through three different types before settling on one that sort of makes my abs work harder rather than me being able to make the movement through my hip or arms without much ab involvement. She's also got me doing a Superman-like thing (lying on stomach, raising thighs and chest with arms stretched out) that's supposed to work my butt muscles but seems to be requiring mostly upper back and shoulders, but she seems happy enough with strengthening those.
