my new personal swear at the moment is "bosch"
mostly because it's adjacent to "bozhe" the eastern european vocative form of "bog" which means God
i'm saying it a lot at the moment because my left ... idk even what it is... the muscle between the hip bone and the upper thigh that you stretch when you do that arch over to the side stretch
and honestly, at this point, i'm already looking at finally getting off my arse - and laying down and doing the 100 situps program, because of the lower back pain that i know is because my abs are weak, i'm liek, ok. lol... i bet i can rustle up a clear memory of the awesome stretch routine i used to do, and at least do situps first thing tomorrow morning and then follow it up with this stretch routine
the routine kept me limber and actually it was only about 3 years ago i stopped being able to touch my toes, which was when the peripheral neuropathy really kicked in - yes it had been slowly fading in for about 4 or 5 years before that but in 2021 i started to frequently get the cramps and muscle weakness, and then shortly after that, slow healing tendon/bone injury recovery and what tipped me off that it was "type 2 diabetes" or what i consider to be early stage kidney/spleen disease - persistent skin infections
i had already been doing back-of-the-calf stretches because when you climb a lot of slopes/stairs the back of your lower leg gets really tight and sore, and literally to get through a walk sometimes i am doing the classic forward cat stretch every 5 minutes to get through it
well, BOSCH, it is time for me to start doing this fr fr
