Migun love you long, long time

OK then. Third session on the bed. I cleverly took ibuprofen first. This time because my lumbar/sacrum was so sore, I tried the abdominal program face down. Great, not as hard to take although the heat got hot in the crotchal area and made me a little nervous. So that was a 20 minute program, then I turned over and did the manual program on my back. That way I could stop the rollers when they got close to the sore spots.
It seems that you get to a point where everything starts flowing and suddenly you’re wide awake. Circulation is a great thing. I also am convinced that it’s breaking up the lymphatic congestion in the abdominal/pelvic areas due to all the surgeries. I also think that, when I can stand it, letting the lumbar/sacrum process happen does a similar thing as the yogic exercises that open your hips which I had suspected were all closed in as a protective/reactive measure from the surgeries as well. I’ll go again tomorrow, I’m going to give this a serious shot. I know there are theories at each end of the spectrum. The “no pain no gain” and then the “it should never hurt “ ones.
I think it’s a case by case issue and for me the stuff that hurts seems to be more effective rolfing, tattooing, migun, etc. I’m no masochist at all but I think the damage is severe and the pain of the fix pales in comparison to when the damages were occurring.

Migun, me horse and me saddle

So Dali and DoubleN got theyselves a Migun bed and I’ve been checking it out. It’s a little like rolfing so intense is the word. But I have to say that I suspect it’s really good. I am really sore at the moment though. There is a spot it hits and hits and hits which is my number one tension spot and WHOUCH! is it a tough go. But today everything back there is all tingly (and yes sore as hell). It was the second time, it was not as hard and I could tell the difference from the 1st time, so I’m willing to give it a month or so of alternate day treatments and see what happens.
The freaky thing though is there is this infrared heat pad thing to put on problem areas on the front while the back is being worked on, which I could not feel at all in the surgery areas. That is how much nerve damage was done. That just sucks. But I can at least feel the changes resulting from it.

Ahhh the weekend. I have piles of stuff to do as well as homework but I’m really looking forward to it as real progress is being made. I feel like so much less of a consumer and schlub when I know where everything is in my house. The kitchen is getting all nice again as well and that is really a good thing. The thing about having “stuff and pockets” is that you have to turn out the pockets on a regular basis and get rid of all the lint.
