Couch 153: Couch slouch

*hops into your pocket where captgut is*

OOOOOOoooooo thank you guys! I'm definitely feeling the love.

We had a good session and something came up and I saw first hand that I no longer was the same girl that started 9 months ago. The changes have been so subtle, slow and painful, but there they are at the end of the day. I was afraid of asking if I could have three therapy sessions a week for a while and he agreed. It feels frivolous and excessive-but I really need him to help ground me at the moment.I feel like I'm bouncing off the walls.

I'm glad you had a good session and noticed changes. Yes, change can be so gradual and subtle that we don't notice. I'm glad you can go 3x a week for a while. You need the support and you advocated for yourself!

I wish I could have sessions weekly... For a while... But I'm too chicken to ask.

I'm proud of you

Feeling physically okay today. Going to work 9-4

does anybody have sciatica or know about it? that's what my h thinks this is, the last few days i don't know if it's my lower back or my hip but it hurts when i first get up in the morning and start walking around, and randomly throughout the day. guess it's time to work on losing weight again. that can help a lot of things... well i'm off to work... have a good day couchies hugs/handshakes/dignified head nods as wanted...

No, my game was decided Sunday night when Atlanta took such a huge lead that they decided they didn't need to throw the ball anymore. Yep, Matt Ryan as my QB just isn't pulling in the fantasy numbers I need.

I won week 1 lost week 2 (by 3 points, ugh, I've lost by less in the past). I'm only in one league this year.

Frustrated too with this past week because I played Kupp and had I played anyone else at WR from my bench I would have won. Sigh. It's just a game... it's just a game, right

yep...i have anottherrrr kidney stone :cry

Ugh, I had two kidney stones in January. They are literally the worst. I hope you're able to pass them naturally this time.

yeah since i had a CT scan in may and it didn't show any stones on my right side then, he thinks it is small and i will pass it on my own.

the pain is back a bit right now, but waiting to get my prescription filled before i go back to work. working with kids in pain = no bueno.

Ugh, I'm sorry Velcro. Hope it can pass on its own (and soon!)

Oh hey, I have Matt Ryan for one of my teams. The other one? Russell Wilson, who...hasn't been doing so well. I picked up Alex Smith after his great performance the first game, but I think that was a fluke. The first week, I lost by 1 point in the one league--to a team that wasn't even playing a QB! (they had one of the ones on the Florida teams that had the game postponed due to hurricane).

Ugh Velcro I'm sorry, hope this one passes naturally and quickly!

Potential new T in an hour...pocket riders welcome! (warning: it's a 90-minute appointment, but if you need to sneak out early that's OK!)

I'll bring the snacks, LT!

Good luck Hun. I hope it goes well. Thinking of you.

Of course I'll pocket ride

Good luck, LT!

@LonesomeTonight I hope it goes well- Pocket riding all the way if i'm not too late!

@Artie- I would get it checked out by a doctor just in case. How long have you had the pain for?

@velcro- I hope you get well soon. I've heard of how tough dealing with stones can be.

@Capgut- Thank you for your kind comment. Would it be easier to ask if you wrote it down or send the request in an email if it would help?

@Quiet- Thank you as well. Part of me just feels like I'm wasting his time. But I know I need help.

I just got emailed a voucher for a free bottle of lucozade.

I don't drink it, it's disgusting... T does. Sooo... shall I get him the free bottle?

In your pocket LT

Good luck, LT!

Luc, yes. For the giggles. Also, pickles.

I think I'm too late LT but I hope it went well!

Thanks for the pocket riders and well wishers! It went pretty well, though I feel like I have zero brainpower left right now--probably the reason sessions aren't generally 90 minutes! (This was longer because was intake session.) He was nice, and it took me a little time to warm up, but I felt pretty comfortable with him by the end. And he had some insightful things to say. We scheduled for next week. Right now looking at a fairly short-term thing, kinda like a second opinion, but figure we'll see how it goes.
