So for the past ten years I have dealt with my shoulders. They hurt all the time it is just at different levels. When they get really bad I go to the doctor. In years past they would shoot them up with wonderful drugs and tell me I should go to therapy. I would say I would but never schedule the sessions. This worked well since it was only about every four years I had to go see them. However this time the doctor would only shoot up one of my shoulders and told me to go do therapy. So I schedule an appointment and went to a session. The therapist gave me exercises to do three times a day at my desk and some I should do once a day. Today is my first follow-up appointment and I know he is going to ask me if I did the exercises, and just like when the dentist asks me if I have flossed I have a dilemma. Do I lie to him or tell him the truth? It isn’t like I never did them, I did it the first two days and then again this morning since I knew I was going to see him today. I just couldn’t get to them every day. Just like the dentist though, I am sure he can tell if I did or didn’t do them. I will probably use the same line I use on the hygienist. “Would you like a lie or the truth?” because let’s face it, I am fooling no one. To tell them that I have is just lying to me and if I want to actually get my shoulders to stop hurting, I probably need to do the work.
