Jan. 9th, 2003 12:58 pmLife in general is going well. Feeling productive, feeling like things are moving in a good directions...
But I'm feeling all whiny because my shoulder and hip hurt.
Hip: Dammit, I thought I was over this. Okay, it seems to be starting in a different muscle group, so maybe it's just part of things settling down. OTOH, if it ends up aggravating the joint again, where is starts doesn't much matter. It'll fuck with my ability to do wushu, it'll hurt, it'll throw me off balance. Where it is right now, I can deal with, as long as it gets better, not worse, but it's pretty sore as it is.
Shoulder: Wah! Half of my right hand is numb. I apparently pulled a muscle in my shoulder -- not sure when, probably when I was moving appliances around while cleaning up the garage. But everything I do seems to irritate it, and worse, it's sneaky -- it felt just fine *during* sword last night, and then started seizing up big time afterwards. And then today it was moderately unhappy while practicing Chen with
who_is_she. I think I need to ask Shifu not to demonstrate joint locks on me today -- at least not with that joint. Meanwhile, it's trying to give me a headache. Wah.
In general, it just makes me feel pissy because I keep wondering if I'm just being completely dense, and that my martial arts aren't good for me after all. And yet, I'm still doing so much better doing them than I was without... Why do I get injured so much?
