I’m not sure if this particular area of the body has a name, but on the left hand side of my body… about 20 cm from the top of my shoulder – specifically, the bony bit where the humerus meets the scapula (yes – I know words. I know all the words)… on the lateral side anyway… where the deltoid muscle sort of makes a slight ‘V’ shape … well it does when I’m a bit slimmer… when I’m fit… and tensing it… and standing underneath a spotlight anyway… well that bit anyway… actually… hang on…. I’ll find a picture…
That is clearly not me.
I have skin on.
But that bit of the body, anyway.
Not the labelled bit.
The bit below that.
The ‘V’.
That specific bit.
That…
… is pretty much the only part of my body that DOESN’T hurt*
Today, I have developed facial swelling and toothache. I have a dentist appt. on Wednesday anyway, so I will cope until then.
I did not go for a run today.
I barely did anything.
So… at only four days into June… I have had to use… the emergency plank!
Just 1min 30secs though. I do need to sit up from bed in the morning.
*clearly, I can still function, I am still going to work tomorrow, and I am well aware that at some point in the (probably quite near) future, I shall consider how I feel now and think, “you were lucky!”
