50 shades of Andrew

Ok, today I had my physical therapy appointment.  Let me tell you....I was really looking forward to my 5pm appointment today.  I was ready for the day at the spa.  Tuesday was paradise.  It was a complete arm massage and I was thrilled with the progress I made.  But today, it was different.  I got there early and immediately I was put to work with exercises.  ARM EXERCISES???  I can't believe the amount of pain I felt.  And it wasn't the kind of pain I expected.  They handed my a flexible bar.  I had to hold it in a perpendicular position and shake my arm holding it out for a min.  Then change to my right arm.  Then turn it to a parallel position and shake it as my arm was out in front of me.  Again each position was done for a minute.  It was like my arm jelly was jiggling back and forth and the pain came from muscle burn.  It was crazy.  I thought I was working out in the gym.  Then I had a series of other arm exercises.  Here I was thinking I would just lie down on the massage table and get a massage.  Oh, I did get a massage but that was at the end and it was no paradise.  Andrew decided to dig deep into my scar tissue.  YEOW!! I yelped.  Then he was maneuvering my arm all around, stretching it in all different directions.  Then he turned me to my side and stretched out my left side.  It almost felt like he was pushing my skin right off my ribs.  Is this normal?  My poor left side is still kind of numb from surgery.  I wonder if I'm normal to still be feeling like this?  Who knows but as I left the 1st thing popped in my head was the book 50 shades of Grey.  Now, I haven't read the entire book yet but I get the gist of what's going on.  And when I compare the book to Andrew let's just be honest here, there is no relationship, it's all physical therapy and nothing but physical therapy but I can't help to laugh a little in my head in comparing the book with him.  All I can say is I felt tortured due to the unexpected work out that left my muscles burning but yet left feeling relieved and satisfied.  Strange huh?  

So we'll see how many shades Andrew has.  So far,  I've experienced at least 4 shades.
