when I was in my early 20's I decided to allow a goof of multiple magnitudes take my legs out from under me on a hardwood basketball court... my only real injury to date as far as I knew... being it was an actual break of a bone...

after this last session with the deep massage therapist it was duly noted that beneath several areas of ever stretched and wrinkling skin is massive scar tissue from what appears to be many injuries... none of which I remember other than the usual contusions and scrapes... saying I am wound like a phucking tank and unbalanced at every cross section of shoulder to spine to hip relation... after being told that for a 49 yo I have the infrastructure of a 70 yo... and on top of that I was put on high blood pressure pills today... mind you I not complaining... I'm just wondering if it would be a good time to retake up mountain biking... I kinda miss it...

deep tissue massage is an intense hour of extreme discomfort... the purpose is to penetrate all the layers of bacon and cheese to get to the scar tissue in question and break it up to be flushed out of normal exit portals with the help of gallons of swallowed water... then there is the buzz factor of these toxins running loose through the body along with new found blood circulation and oxygen... riding a motorcycle after such a treatment is highly not recommended...

so now I'm pondering yet another insult to my previously perceived notion that invincibility lasts forever if you let it... I'm not saying I'm phucked... I just would like to lose the anti-inflammation drugs and all the ice packs... wine helps...
