In bed last night pain was more traditional, still plenty of SI pain if I try to lay on that side, roll around, or even some while laying flat. I am learning to sleep on my left side :( First few min of walking around, pain about a 2-3, getting better for last two days. 41 min of swim, including same technical stuff as yesterday, pluse 50 yds of freestyle--I am so bad at it. It's good to do some to spike up my hr, mostly from not knowing how to breathe properly, but I'll take what I can get. HR at the end 81. Going to PT this morning. PT: e-stim (lower back/SI), ultrasound on lower back perhaps SI area too, massage (lower back, SI, and upper ham, stretched ham three ways in gym, then Steve did massage on lower back, SI and upper pelvic joint, hamstring, then we went over the pelvic stretch, then icing. No arebic exercises there and none for this afternoon. My SI hurt after the massage, perhaps from the pelvic stretch. I told Steve (he said on Monday to wait 48 hours) I had an appointment w/Dr McLane for tomorrow and was wondering if an MRI is advisable and told him I'd like one. He basically didn't say one way or another, but I don't think he thinks its necessary but is letting me have my way about it, but he said he wants to talk to Dr McLane before I meet with her tomorrow. So, we'll see what she says. No pain while walking around (well maybe a one), but sat on floor w/JJ for a game and it hurt bad in certain positions. I don't think me and the floor get along. I plan on planing 64 today and 64 tomorrow, then I won't have to do more until Paul moves some bulders (so perhaps I'm good for a couple of years :D ).
