Last July, I fell while on my bike, hurt my right shoulder. I went to PT. It got better. Somewhere mid-March, it started hurting again. MRI showed a 10mm tear on my supraspinatus tendon (avg tendon is 13mm).
Yeah. It’s time.
Cousin Amy is here on Wednesday – we had plans to update the chicken coop & various smaller house projects. I’m gonna update my person instead.
I’ll be in a sling for 6 weeks (ends June 5).
Virtual sessions, classes & Pilates/Personal training are a GO. I should be good to resume on May 6 (my first day back from vacation anyway!).
Craniosacral therapy (CST)
I’m going to have to experiment & see if I can do 1-handed CST, or support my R arm and do it w/o pain. I’m scheduling a few of these for that 2nd week, ‘guinea pigs’ as it were. I will be pending these sessions until I can try the week of May 5.
Traditional massage will be out for now. For my 30 min area specific folks, I *may* be able to do those, but I will need a few weeks (will also need a guinea pig or 2). If you have a 1h+ massage booked, please let me know:
- if you are interested in converting it to a CST session, as long as it goes well with my guinea pigs. At massage price.
- if you’d prefer to stay as a massage. I’m gonna assume full body sessions are out for the entire 6 weeks.
- Estimated return date for massage sessions is June 10.
Driving is also out for 2 weeks, and then on a limited basis as I feel comfortable for the duration of sling-wearing. That means only 1 day per week (Wed) in Austin thru Memorial Day, if I’m up for coming in.
- No Austin appointments the week of May 5.
- Austin sessions pending how I feel, May 14 & 21
- Any Austin appointments currently scheduled on TUESDAYS will have priority rescheduling to Wed, thru June 9. I’ll be in touch.
I am also away June 23-27 taking care of my elderly mom in Wisconsin. You can be jealous. All virtual sessions are good, and moved to Tu/Th during this week only.
Be looking for email cancellation notices. If you don’t get one, I’m thinking I might be able to get it done, or it’s pending seeing how I feel.
Please ask questions if you have any. I’m now in a whirlwind of preparation. There was a lot in this email. I’ll get back to you as my sanity allows, so please have patience.
The Bionic Woman,
Sharon
