This exercise ball makes a fabulous chair. I just sit here bouncing along, working on engaging my transverse muscles that run around my abdomen. Whee! The A’s game is not on TV for some reason, but I am fine with listening on the radio because it means I can clean my room. Brushed my cat […]

The part of me that is injured: Read all about it here. And another good illustration. Finally, a good article about sacroiliac joint dysfuntion which describes my symptoms perfectly. No one at my company takes this seriously. I am going to forward these articles to my boss. I am STILL in pain ALL the time. […]

A list, because I haven’t updated in a few days. 1. Last week I saw a physical therapist. The visit immediately made me wish I had done this instead of acupuncture. Not to discredit acu, but I think it’s not the answer to all things. The therapist almost right away sorted out what was wrong […]

Yay, my raised work station is finally coming! In seven days. Seven more days of horrible 24/7 back and hip pain. Yes, it has gotten worse, folks. I have to wait until Friday to see a physical therapist, and then I will demand (politely) an MRI and/or a referral to an orthopedist. My lower body […]

Two days later, and my side muscles and shoulder muscles are still a little sore from training. This feeling is instructive: taijutsu should not be about strength or using muscle power. That’s why small folks, women, children etc can use it. So, I train again tonight. Here are a few important things to remember: don’t […]
