So I just spoke with Brian Barnes, who runs the San Francisco MyoFascial Release Treatment Center. I have an appointment with him on Tuesday morning, which is going to probably entail a BART ride for me to avoid nasty traffic and gas costs. Looks to be in a decent area of SF, so I'll walk the 0.3 miles from the BART station to the center. He is of the mind that he can probably help me... the cost is going to suck but its not going to be covered by Kaiser and I want to try it, so oh well. Glad I have some extra moolah to help out. I'm figuring its going to be somewhere around $100-150 for an hour, but his office person is going to call me with particulars tomorrow.
Trying the new "drink half your body weight in ounces" in water, and I've had two shakes so far today. Tried new flavors, peach and raspberry. Peach didn't taste like much, and raspberry was a little tart but thats good. I have to stay up all night tonight, so I'll get all of the water down for sure. Just finished my first four cups, about to go make my second four now. Also started adding the FibRestore, so thats been interesting. I definitely think the water is good, though, because right now my fingers aren't quite as swollen as they were earlier.
Bought this thing at Bed Bath and Beyond today, its called a "Blender Bottle." Basically a whisk in a smoothie bottle. I'm hoping it works for taking the smoothies to work.
I hope this MFR works - it would be excellent to be able to close my fists completely again. I am hopeful. I will keep doing the shakes and such too - I want my body to feel good again. Kind of liked that "bubble wrap" feeling :)
