more on the bike
Jun. 16th, 2006 12:56 pmI'm still quite sore. Ow. I tried taking a bath, but even that was problematic- the hot water kept on getting cold. Usually it stays hot long enough to fill up the bathtub, and this time no one else would ahve been using water in the house, my parents were asleep. And so my tepid bath did nothing to make my shoulder or knees feel better.
Micah GS suggested I use a spare towel to kneel on when I'm digging, which I'll probably do if I'm still in pain. A.A. suggested I go get checked out today. Unfortunately I'm quite carless. My parents took the cars and they are both working all day. I suppose I could walk 5 miles to the Barrington clinic, but apparently walking is dangerous to my health, as we found out yesterday the hard way.
Part of me thinks a back massage would do wonders. Can't have that either. But I'll find my heating pad and use that.
twopoints made me this really cool bean-bag type one that heats in the microwave, but I have no clue where it is :( [But I do still have it and it's amazing and thank you, 3 years later. Lol.]
If anyone has any other advice on what to do [besides the obvious of drugs- already took those, and lying down and not updating LJ] I'm open to suggestions. Or if anyone is in Barrington/nearby RI [as in Providence or something, I'm not suggesting that anyone drive from Boston] and has a car and can help me out, that, too would be appreciated.
