an icepick through the keyhole

And ice. Don't forget the ice.


I feel your pain (a bit literally), khaos. After some injuries five year or so ago, I went through some physical therapy and continued those exercises religiously on my own for a few years, strengthening up those areas a bit. I wasn't overly athletic or anything, but it all helped me function day-to-day. Then I had mono/glandular fever three years ago and the muscle tissue atrophied away. I've been fighting ever since to find the energy to build up a fraction of it back...and then my liver went crazy again last month. Starting to try to do the exercises again, and yeah, it doesn't take much to wipe me out.
