I am 28 years young. Trying to eat healthier and stay more active but I will never deny that there is a little bit of a couch potato inside me. Lately it has become quite the spud. Remember the days when you could stay up to all hours of the night, wake up early and still be a fully functioning member of society the whole day then do it all over again? I remember those sweet memories to. Head out and party until 2 am and wake up to be at work for 7, nap it off and do it all over again. Mind you I was never a wild party animal but I did have my hay day.
Shellie Moment: Now as a full blown adult with grey hairs and all i have a hard time staying up to 11 pm on a weeknight and celebrate what I like to call nap after work day every Friday. I am not sure if it was the terrible Calgary weather this week or just being down right tired but on Thursday this week there was a serious case of Old Lady Syndrome and I was physically in bed and asleep by 930 pm. I think grade school kids stay up later than that now a days! Not only that, Friday night I was ecstatic that Free Willy was on TV!! Wow am I old that I get excited about a movie on TV on a Friday night. Does that tell you how exciting I am? Well I am not exciting. At all. I could not even make it through Free Willy. I was in bed by 10 pm.
Wow am I cool!! NOT!

Make an Ass of Yourself
There will be no photos to accompany this blog and shortly you will realize why. This year I was involved in a bus accident and it has resulted in lower back pain for the first time in my life. Not fun, I do not recommend it. I have been attending physiotherapy regularly for the past 2 months and have gotten used to how they do things. Let me introduce you to the routine:
1) I arrive
2) I warmly greet the friendly receptionist who returns with kind greetings
3) I go to the back area and claim a bed while the physiotherapy assistant grabs me a robe
4) I change into the robe so that they can access my lower back without the problem of my pants
5) I assume the position laying face down with the robe neatly tied
6) the physiotherapy assistant returns and attaches a machine to my back that does things to it, tingly things
7) the physiotherapist arrives and does some poking around and some massage
8) get some ultrasound
9) change from my fashionable blue robe back into my everyday clothes
10) depart
Wow that is a good solid 10 steps, not as good as 12 steps but those people have much more determination (and good on you). I was in the midst of step 7 when it happened. I just need to make it clear that while I tie the robe and assume a face down position to receive the healing they quickly come in and untie my robe. Let's just say I always make sure I am wearing presentable under garments.
My physiotherapist is not shy about moving my under garments to fully access the area that is still in pain. I imagine in their line of work they have seen it all and I am inside a private curtained off area so I just let her do her thing. There is a very classy face hole in the bed so that I can breather in the assumed face down position. I spend more time talking to their shoes than their faces. I recognize both sets of shoes and know who is in the room even if there is no talking.
Shellie Moment: I noticed during step 3 that there is a new face and knew that they were doing some hiring recently so assumed it was the other assistant for the afternoon physiotherapist. No more thoughts about that. At this point my ass is mostly exposed, the robe is off to either side only remaining tied at the very top, after all I am allowed some decency right? That is when I notice it, there is a new set of shoes in front of my face. I see that her feet are smaller than I am used to. There is a new person in the room! All of a sudden a light tap on my shoulder and and the owner of the shoes introduces herself as the new student that is doing a practicum. "Well I am sorry you are seeing this side of me first, I usually like to meet face to face first and get comfortable." was my response.
I don't flash my bum for everyone, I like some eye contact first, I am a lady!
