Re: femme, in the 1980s, I used to hang upside down with some silly boots
I've done it everyday. I'm a good girl, nice and obedient (at least sometimes)

femme, in the 1980s, I used to hang upside down with some silly boots
from a pole across the doorway of my bedroom. It stretched out my back and felt so good.
Then, I got older and couldn't get up and down so easily and, if I had a laugh attack over my getting stuck, I could not escape at all and someone had to come and hold me up enough for me to remove my boot hooks from the pole and get down.
I need that back stretch out now, but, if I could even manage to get up in those boots again, my knees joints would separate, hip joints would separate from pelvis, blood would rush to my brain and I would die from some overload of some kind.
Mom bought the kind of chair that you could strap yourself into, actually a bed of fabric, and then raise your arms and turn yourself upside down, lowering your arms made you go back to normal position.....it also did a wonderful back stretch. But, I couldn't do that today either. She can't get on and off of it anymore either. She sold it.
I have shrunk over 2 and one half inches in the past ten years and my spine is collapsing like Mom's, hers is all twisty and snakey. We both want shots of heroin in our spinal areas periodically.
So, when I remember to do the stretches, I actually have a better day, if I am consistent.
HOW do I become more consistent?? I am an idiot who seems to prefer the pain. ARe you more consistent than I am? It is a bitch being a responsible adult.
