Day 2: Ed’s Walking. The Clock Is Still Loud.
Yesterday the lounge chair won. Today Ed’s walking — pain at a 7, down from a 9. Evening massage with Jim’s Relief 1000. Flight’s still coming. Gotta get him back in the game.
Day 1 was the lounge chair and a man who could barely negotiate the hallway.
Day 2 he’s walking around.
Not pretty. Not “back in the gym.” Walking. He put the morning at a 7. Yesterday was a 9. That’s the only scoreboard that matters tonight.
Flight still wants him. So the job tonight is simple: keep him moving, keep the back from locking back up, get him closer to travel-ready.
The evening plan
No ice bath theater. No lecture.
Ed gets an evening massage with Jim’s Relief 1000 — medium size. Pure CBD cream. DMSO in the mix so it doesn’t just sit on the surface. THC-free.
Hands on the back. Thin layers. Let it work while he stays in the house and not on that lounge.
Gotta get him back in the game. That’s it.
What Day 2 actually looks like
Day 2 is not a commercial.
It’s a Marine who slept wrong on outdoor furniture, made it through one night, and can now walk the room at a 7 instead of living at a 9. Bathroom trips are not a project anymore. Sitting down is not a negotiation with a referee.
He still has a plane to catch. A 7 still hurts. We are not pretending otherwise.
Jim’s stays out. Medium jar. Enough for another pass tonight and another in the morning if he needs it.
The lounge chair already had its moment. It doesn’t get a sequel.
