8pril! Rain on a tin roof, or the absence thereof

RUN 46 mins and 5.1 miles to PT and back
STRENGTH 1 hour

Again no bike commute, another appt. I used yesterday's missed run to today's advantage, figuring that since I'm biking tomorrow I can squeeze in a Friday run. In the end, doing 2.5 miles twice wasn't really much of a run.

PT was good, still finding strengths and weaknesses. Lots of pec work today, I'll be feeling that soon enough.

The EMG showed nerve damage at C5, kinda as expected. It was a fun test! He explained everything from what to listen for (sound of rain on a tin roof is good), what the peaks and troughs indicate, etc. Not sure I understand it all, but understood enough to enjoy doing it. Didn't mind the buzz shocks and needle. Probably because "you're so thin I can use my smallest and thinnest needle". Bonus!

So no neck MRI, I didn't really follow up on the Spurling Test thing from yesterday. Got enough problems, and I figured he knows best about whether I should be worried about it.

So Brachial Neuritis. Probably another 6-9 months of healing. Oof.

It's 8pril! That's not a typo ;)
