No new calves today.
I found an old bird nest yesterday under a tree by the well pump's house. The bird had gathered some of the tarp shreds from last year before I was able to rake and get rid of all of it.
My Piriformis Syndrome seems to have gone. I had 6 days of steroids and 7 days of muscle relaxant. By the third day on the meds the syndrome pain started to ease, and day by day got better. A few days later I went to one physical therapy session. I had been doing some exercises I found on YouTube for the syndrome. The physical therapist gave me four more exercises to do. By the time I saw my doctor the next week I was mostly fine. But sitting waiting to be called back, then more sitting and waiting for the doctor after I saw the nurse, the piriformis pain started up. It had been mostly gone and now back? I came to the conclusion that sitting with a wallet and checkbook in my rear pants pocket on the left side was causing the reappearance of the pain. The doctor agreed with my assessment. I moved the wallet and checkbook to my right rear pocket and the pain went away later. The piriformis pain had been only on my left side and not on my right side. So far since then no more pain. And I haven't been doing the exercises the past few days as I forgot to. With the pain before I had way cut back on my bicycle riding. I'm starting to ride a little more now. I hope the piriformis syndrome doesn't come back.
The first week I had the syndrome I met a guy who had the priformis syndrome a few years ago. He had it for eight months. Doctors, medicines, physical therapy, and it didn't get better. As he was trying anything he saw a massage therapist even though he wasn't convinced that would work. And that did. The massage therapist made the syndrome disappear.
