…is the only optimally functioning limb I’ve got right now. Left wrist is just getting over some earlier tweakiness, right thumb got yanked backward Monday night (this is all aikido-related of course). And my left hip joint is getting steadily more insistent that it’s going to require some focused attention someday. Intense use leads to lingering aches and stiffness. It doesn’t like to be bent for long periods of time, so sitting in a chair has to be relieved by hanging my left thigh straight down.
My third kyu test is two weeks from this Friday, if I don’t fall apart before then I’m promising to get some professional attention for this gimpiness afterwards.
Sucks getting older, doesn’t it?
Thanks for your kind words on my blog, buddy. I hope your body mends in time for your test (and congrats on making 3rd kyu!).
Tyler & Kayleigh both did Aikido (Tyler made 7th kyu before quitting after Sam died). Both are going to start Tai Kwon Do very soon (we have a friend with a dojo here in West Seattle).
Love to you and Michelle. Heal quickly.
I like to go for a massage the day before tests. Good for relaxing and healing! Good luck on your test!
Happy rolling,
