Last Poster #6

Think I may nutted out what this nausea/coughing has been all about... think it may be reflux related. As soon as I took bicarb in water my nausea really eased dramatically, and coughing has almost completely gone.

Apparently reflux can cause coughing (irritation in oesophagus/throat etc), who knew! That didn't happen last time... but at least we have some progress... And the nausea makes sense too. All of it does, the last time I got reflux bad was also during a very anxious, stressful period. Kinesiologist emphasised dooooown-regulating everything, slowing down and more grounding practices. Thus will be my 'spiritual' focus at the moment

Haven't done any karate training in weeeeeeks and weeks.. finally feel well enough to, so gonna do some now!

That... was...... awesome!!!

Did some nonstop kihon, ido geiko (moving basics) patterns from my old style (surprised I still remembered all 8!), Pinan Yon kata a couple of times, and finished with a few grounding exercises, and did a slow breathing Tensho kata with the lights off. All of this while having base chakra music/picture on in the background.

WHAT IS THIS HIPPY DIPPY HOKEY NEW AGEY KARATE?!?!?!?

Well, it appears the reason for my still having trouble walking normally after almost 8 weeks after the surgery (8 weeks tomorrow) is because a muscle (either the Rectus femurs or the Vastus medialis, based on where they kept poking) is hard as a rock and feels like it is in constant spasm. Would explain why there are times I cannot bend it and when I do it feels like something is being bent and pulled.

If this is still the case at my next PT session, I will be returning to the MD to see what he has to say.

Mrs Xue did acupuncture on it this morning, but she is off to China for a week

Is that the same spider you found in the sink? If so you are a very nice guy.

Old guy at work just gave me three Bruce Lee mags from 74 and 75. Pretty good shape, too.

They will be a fun read. I'm psyched.

That is VERY cool, brother.

Careful and considerate treatment of spiders does not constitute insanity. Not necessarily.
