this is a journal

In May to June of this year, I suffered a domino effect of accidents that resulted in, among other things, some pain that has not resolved yet. It is now November 23. This journal will serve as my documentation of my way out of this chronic pain.

As it stands, I have 

-plantar fasciitis symptoms that come and go in both feet

-a bit of shin splints on the outside of my left leg

- pain in my sitz bone

- occasional pain in my piriformis

- occasional pain in my right hip

These are all resolvable, but they require finding the proper exercises. 

To restate it, that's what this journal is: my account of doing exercise exercises, and trying to find exercises and chronicling the results and the struggles and the successes. 

Ideally, I would include images and accounts from art and literature that could make this kind of work more resonant and, to be honest, more interesting to me.

And here we go.

Azulejo reflecting my Portuguese heritage. The tile is broken and in need of repair and revitalization.

Here we see azulejo that is bright and vibrant and together. This is where I see my body heading. How I want my body to be.
