As I commented in Shannon's journal, I took a very long-haul flight a few days back. Since then I've been waking up with knee pain during the night, trying and failing to find a position that'd make the ache go away. It got so bad yesterday that I finally turned to the painkillers and sat at the table scrunching up my face waiting for them to kick in. I was limping around the house all day. I had to use my hands to bend my knee because moving the muscles around it made the joint too tender.
It's a weird injury. My guess is a combination of flight-related swelling and the twisted position I fell asleep in while jammed into a small seat. I'd had a bunch of drinks during a farewell gathering with my brother and I'm thinking I passed out in an awkward position.
Anyway, I threw on OPH 5.11G as I was falling asleep last night. After a few minutes, this strange lightness kicked in. I could tell it was doing something to me, and there was a little of that anxiety of not knowing what's going on, but then I felt really peaceful and comfortable and went to sleep.
The next thing I know, it's seven and a half hours later and I'm waking up. I'm on my side with my knee bent, which caused me pain on previous nights. For a while it felt completely healed. Over the course of the day the tenderness has come back, but at least now I can go about my business at home without a worry.
I've got the subscription now so I'm going to keep listening to get the knee fixed, then continue into "periodic tune-up" phase that Shannon says the product is good for, and see what other benefits I notice.
All in all, awesome work on this, Shannon. Kind of like the feeling I had from ME. Like, how in hell can this stuff be real?
