Strength

I am often surprised by Amy's physical strength.

 

I met Amy as she worked as a massage therapist at my chiropractor's office.  It took months of suggestions for the chiropractor to convince me to let her work on me.  I had always considered massage a nice relaxing experience, but not highly therapeutic.

Boy, I missed this one!  So, he convinces me to let her work on me and I am quickly taught just how much she could do to help me.  I suffer from chronic plantar faciitis.  My feet have hurt, daily, for years.  10+ years.  Sometimes worse than others, but always there.  Still does.

But Amy was able to make it all much more bearable.  She worked on me for a couple of years and kept it under control and in check.

Not only was I impressed by how much help she could provide, but also by how strong she was.  Wow!  I didn't expect her to be so strong!  It didn't help that I was usually so sore that it didn't take much for me to be in lots of pain.

I've been doing a lot better in the past couple of years and Amy hasn't been able to do much since her back trouble.  She can't work and hasn't worked for over two years!  But she's still very good at what she does.

I somehow managed to get my legs back in a mess today.  Tied in aching knots!  I was really hurting.  I asked her for some help and it was like we were back at the chiropractor's office.  Her working on me, me screaming in pain, everyone around laughing at me!  But I feel so much better.

Amy loves doing massage.  And she is so very good at what she does.  I don't know if she'll ever have the health in her back to do this work again, but I hope so.  She loves helping people this way.  And she helps so many people.  I hope she can get back to it someday.  But I'll never forget just how talented, skilled, and strong she once was.  She was impressive then.  She's amazing today.

I Always Love My Wife.
