A Young Wife’s Tale

Yesterday I worked at my little part time personal secretary job. David doesn’t usually call me when he’s at work. Yesterday, he called me on my direct line at work. I don’t think he has ever done that. He wanted to know what time I was leaving work to come get him. I also had a text and a voicemail from him on my cell when I left the office. He was having a really bad day. At first, I thought he was having a flare up.

No, no. Turns out, he forgot his meds the night before. Yup. Just one time

David uses a combination of traditional and alternative medicine to treat his arthritis. He responds well to massage therapy and chiropractic treatment. Supplements have not given him any relief so far.

David always feels great after a massage. I on the other hand, feel terrible. For the next two days I’m sore like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve found that eating bananas helps but doesn’t completely take away the soreness. Bananas have lots of potassium, which helps with muscle cramps. David’s parents taught me that.
