The small woman talked with me about my back and said you won't like it but I can help you. She also said she would be easy - NOT -. Oh well, she had me lie down on a wooden bed with a cloth on it. That was the first problem as I can't lie down flat. She had to put many pillows under my legs just to get me in position. She felt like 2-ton tony when she massaged, not like a little woman. She started at my feet and covered every inch from the bottom of my feet to the entire legs, which took an hour. Then she worked on my buttocks and back and this took an hour. Then she worked on my shoulders and neck and head for at least half an hour. She then said that she should put tiger balm on me so I could move. She said sit up and that was a joke, I needed help with that task. Then she said stand up and that was the second joke. Wow was I tender. I didn't know I had so many problem areas until she started pushing. She would laugh and say oh oh, no problem when I flinched or pulled away. She just kept on and said that there were a lot of problem areas. She said when we were done that I may not want to come back because she hurt me but that I needed it so much she hoped she could hurt me again. Wow, no soft touch with her hands or her mouth. I took Tylenol and today I am not as sore as I had been. I can't believe that that torture could help but I going back for more so maybe I will be able to walk and stand without so much pain. On, Rob's wife, paid for the massage and she said that she didn't think I would want to pay for so much pain. That was so kind of her.
Well today we are going to get a soothing facial and a soft foot massage.
So that I can get ready for the next pain session.
The next blogs should be more cheerful but I think she has helped me already.
Bye for now from Chiangmai, Thailand
