The weather has been abso-freaking-lutely perfect. It can be this way all the time, as far as I'm concerned. Days like this are wasted on work. *sigh*
Hub has been having a sore neck lately, probably stress-related. The other night he tried floating and drugs and couldn't get rid of it, and asked me for a massage. He knows I will not hesitate to go deep after knotted up muscles if it warrants it. So he sat on the floor while I sat behind him on the couch, and went after it. He had a knot like a golf ball on the left side, and I started digging hard. After a few minutes, he moaned. Not the "ooh, baby" way or even in the 'hurts so good' way... but in the way that made me think something was wrong. I asked him if he was OK, and he said he was feeling dizzy. I had him lean back and I stopped massaging, but the damage was done. He got up after about 30 seconds, walked over to the bathroom, and puked his guts out.
My god.
I have since learned that you should not dig really suddenly and deeply into knots like that. Your body may resist with things like knotting up worse... or puking. That'll show me.
I have to say though... he was very good-natured about it, and was even laughing about it very shortly thereafter. He said he did end up feeling a lot better, so maybe it needed to happen at some level. It was pretty alarming at the time, though. We now call it 'the V spot' and I'm wondering if I can teach it to ninjas for money.
