I guess I’m very hard to please.
A normal person would probably LOVE being assigned nightly hydrotherapy, for their arthritic neck and back… In layman's terms that’s Hot tub time!
Yes, most normal people would love to hear the words…. “Heat therapy, Massage and hydrotherapy, are very effective in relieving chronic back pain. Just sit still in the hot tub, with the jets on your neck for 7 ½ minutes and then your lower back for 7 ½ minutes…” (a girl is not supposed to be in 104 degree water longer than 15 minutes…I think it makes girl soup)
Ok, the people that know me well, have already seen my dilemma... for those that don’t, it’s the phrase…sit still that causes the problem.
I don’t want to hurt anymore, so I try really hard to sit there, with nothing to read, type, write…the relaxing sound and feeling of hot bubbly water all around.. so I do sit still, for about 4 seconds, then I wiggle a little, this way and that…water splashing in my face…yes, I complain… jets are too strong, they scoot me around too much…you name it, I can’t be tamed.
I’m outside, so I look at the stars and try to find the constellations, I try to write a blog in my head, (I won’t remember it when I get out, but that’s not the point)… I try to get the paper I’m supposed to be writing for class, all lined out and well thought out in my head…
I try to concentrate on Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. This is my favorite verse, and it applicable in ALL situations... that helps a little, but, I gotta tell you, I’m bored and ready to get out in 5 minutes…tops.
How old am I? Three??
Maybe I will go get Elizabeth to get in with me; at least I’ll have someone to play with!
