Roller-dealy

This little contraption has been a lifesaver of late. It is a hard foam roller that you use to roll out the hurt in your muscles and joints.  It feels like getting a deep tissue massage (and is a bit painful like one) but it helps so much!  My hamstrings have just ached and this has been so helpful.  Thank you mom for letting me borrow it!

But next week, on the three week mark (or is it four?) of spraining my ankle, I am getting back in the freaking water and going swimming.  This stiffness is killing me!

And then in the spirit of my quest to ASK, I'm getting some muscle relaxers from my doc at my next visit.  The spasms are miserable and you know, they don't need to be.  I have learned the lesson over and over again - stop being "tough girl" and take care of yourself.  So I'm trying.  Really!
