Day 6, Saturday, Week 1 of working 40%… Success :smiley: - CoV-contact :scream_cat:

OK - This week has proven that I can manage to stay at work again. But I will have to always keep on my toes. Hadn’t realized that yet, altho I’ve been doing it at night - but not at daytime.

I added quite a bit to my cryo-post last night: Heat & Cold therapy - 6+1 types (Cryotherapy)
I riskily stayed up till 12 for the first time in months, but made sure I slept 8h+.

My wife had contact to a colleague who has turned out yesterday to have CoV. The only thing they did right was talk less than 15 minutes… Got some fairly sharp talking to do, because one of her bosses (a doc!!) is not at all co-operative, supplying no testing, because she’s scared of losing money if they have to close… :money_with_wings: :moneybag: :money_mouth_face: :arrow_forward: :angry:

Feeling a bit chilly today after the first cold shower plus hot water bottle, the heating’s not working enough. So had to do 20 mins. housework, regardless of pain. OK not regardless, mixing some different kinds of movement.

Smalll surprise: My middle back right of the spine cramped: With arnica cream (Traumeel) :white_check_mark:. even stretching (only a bit on the left).

12:00 6th table tennis game with short breaks was a bit too much, so :arrow_forward: cold showering at last… :white_check_mark: still a bit nauseous. :arrow_forward: Breath-holding exercise. 3pm Still…
so :arrow_forward: keep under the sweet spot or at least stop as soon as I notice it’s too much, which today was right at the beginning of the sixth game. Nosestrip 3-5pm was a nice extra, but the ill-Ache is pretty high (3/4) in legs, arms, even fingers. So my feeling in the past was right just to rest, not to try to do something about it. But I should not try going over the sweet spot. Everything else is OK, but in table tennis it seems to be a fine line. Maybe hard to feel in the fun of the moment.
6pm Slow walk was OK, but the ill-Ache is still 4/5.
Maybe going to bed late has contributed, but the length of table tennis has got to stay my focus now. On Day 21, Nov 15, JayCS’s Fibro Blog, I overdid it and the double remedy helped, just the showering.
8:30 Ache 5, :arrow_forward: cold washing arms & thighs :white_check_mark: a bit better, 2/3. Still tired & stiff, just about managed back exercises…
