Thank You

I was very happy to be at the kwoon today, hanging out with my kung fu friend, practicing, visiting, it was awesome! I didn't get to participate to the degree that I wanted to because of my shoulders. This week my shoulders went from bad to worse and I'm not truly sure what exactly I did except not let them rest enough. By Thurs, I was in constant pain and discomfort, both of my arms were going to sleep throughout the day as well as at night (waking me up which was not fun!). I decided to go and visit my  chiropractor who I haven't seen in a while.
Side Bar - I haven't gone because I usually like to rest after an adjustment to let the bones settle and the muscles relax. I was not willing to take the time to do that as I was afraid that I would get too far behind on my forms. The jokes on me because I have done fewer and fewer forms as the last few weeks have progressed because of the discomfort.
Back to the story..... I went to the chiropractor on Friday morning and she did a lot of work on my muscles as well as my bones. I feel great! For the first time in a long time, I didn't get woken up by the discomfort in my arms on Friday night. Woot Woot!!! Today while I was at the kwoon, I experienced some discomfort, sort of like a warning sign, while doing Tai Chi. I figured at that time that I should probably take it easy for the next day or two if I want my adjustment to hold. And attending the fitness class that was going to focus on upper body, complete with kettle bells, was probably not in the best interest of healthy shoulders. Or shoulders that would make it through the next week of doing forms, playing my guitar and working on my knitting projects, and of course, all the other stuff (groceries, carrying my stuff - kung fu and work). I helped my partner with with some Tai Chi moves, kicked the bag 200 times, finished my sit ups and completely loved being around all of the amazing people that hang out there on Saturdays. Thank you all for making my day:)
