Generally speaking, bird pics are a dime a dozen, usually out of focus, the bird's too far away or it's a sad zoo specimen. T...

The Masochism Tango La La La

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 8:19 AM
I had electro-muscular stimulation (electrodes attached to muscles, a charge sent through to make the muscles contract) in physical therapy yesterday. And I liked it. I liked it at the level I'd chosen for myself (strong), I liked it even more when the therapist cranked it up to, as he put it, the level just below begging to turn it off. Every seven seconds- bzzzzzzz - & Oh! There are exercises you do to the rhythm of the pulses (leg raises & the like). Imagine them on both legs. Dance, old man, dance (domo arigato Mr Roboto). Zzzzt. 2,3,4 zzzzt. Finally. I've got rhythm.

And I bicycled for 15 minutes. The first time in years I could do that (relatively) pain free. I'm sore & I'm happy.

I saw "Crank 2" a few weeks ago. I recommend it for wide open throttle dumb as rocks entertainment. The theme of the movie is the hero has had his heart removed & replaced by a cheap artificial heart that he has to keep juiced in order to stay alive. I retroactively enjoy & get that movie now on a very personal level.

Yes! More therapy tomorrow. More juice!

Zzzzt! Oh!

Hi Evan,

I've been away from Deviant for about a month and am just catching up. Hope you are recovering well. I really laughed at your description of the percocet dreams and the need for a dream camera. With my three surgeries last year it was vicodine land for me. Really have to watch that stuff though... addictive as hell and for children of the 60's/70's some of us are prone to that kind of behavior.

All the Best

Jim

Well, off the percocet on onto vicodin. The dreams were cool...the rash & constipation- eh- not so fun. The vicodin does the trick, no side effects, but alas & alack, no wild dreams either (& no ahhh....rush- a few memories of darvon- sigh). Only taking the stuff at night, & these days, no more than a pill & 1/2. Gonna be weening myself off that soon, too. The achiness I can handle during the day. And it's gonna be a really good scar.
