Having my knee rubbed is the best thing ever... like chocolate, rain, dogs, and Simon & Garfunkle...all wrapped up in one neat little package.
It doesn't happen often. Before I got sick, my knee was a major concern (I broke it in 2005). Now, it takes a back seat to rib/stomach/head/neck/arm pain and other problems; which unfortunately means it only gets attention a) When it's not working properly or b)When the doctors check my reflexes.
Today, rather than focus on spirochetes, IVs, protein, FB, and pain incessantly, I spent two hours doing something I haven't done since January...focusing on the limbs that carry me. With one of my favorite girlfriends in tow, I luxuriated in an ankle, calf, leg massage... complete with mani/pedi, scrub, paraffin treatment, and YES--a good, ole' fashioned knee rubbing. It was 120 minutes of pure heaven.
It's been a nice couple of days...full of friends, family, driving, and other ordinary moments. Bit by bit, piece by piece, I am healing--in my body, in my heart, and in my spirit.
