| I went to physical therapy today. I will be doing that twice a week for the next month or so. it's going to be rather expensive since it's not covered by insurance, but if it fixes my back, then it will be worth it.
we'll start with stability on monday, but until then I have a packet of stretches I'm supposed to do 3x for 30 seconds twice a day. counting the left/right variations, I have 28 different stretches, which means 84 minutes total per day. yeah that should make me more flexible. |

| I had some x-rays today. they didn't show any serious problems with the spine. so I got an anti-inflammatory perscription and a PT referral. |

| I did some aqua-jogging. a mix of deep and less-deep(enough to just touch my feet) water. it would have been really boring except there was some other dude there having a PT session, which was slightly amusing. |

| 3x12x60 ub. I've made an effort to include spine-lengthening type stretching exercises on the advice of the russians. I'm expecting the doctor to say I probably had/have a pinched nerve from compression. I'm glad to be going to _sports_ medicine on thursday, since that means they will be more inclined to help me fix it, as opposed to suggesting I wait and let it fix itself. I usually do take a proactive approach to recovery, but in this case it was not so easy since it was hard to pinpoint the problem. |

| I did some aqua-jogging and then swam a few laps. back has been hurting the last 2 days despite the fact that I haven't done anything that might hurt it recently. I made an appointment to see some sports doctor about it next thursday. |

| |
| it's now inconvenient to go to BSC, so I joined the Waltham athletic club. I get a discount under company benefits, so its super cheap. and there is a pool there for aqua-jogging. hopefully I won't have to do much of that. |
