Dorit

When I feel good, it's like *such* a relief. It is so familiar to me to feel down, or sickly, or headachy, that when a major part of the day (half or more) feels actually good, it is an amazing lightness.

I finally went to Dorit today (the physiotherapist who does the lymphatic massage) after more than a month of not seeing her. My thigh was quite swollen, and groin was so sore because of the built up pressure from the lymphatic swelling there & in the thigh. I didn't actually realize how bad it had gotten. I knew I had like a tennis ball shaped area of swelling on my thigh, but it didn't especially hurt. Dorit massaged & drained, working long & very concentrated. She did a long reflexology after that, and it was just wonderful. I left her house feeling so light. I felt like I could breathe again. I had a great day after that. :-) Gotta remember to take care of myself and get to her once a week.
