She was doing her best to relax under the ministrations of the masseuse -excume me- massage therapist. The woman had been adamant that she didn’t do THOSE kinds of massages. Karina couldn’t help but smile wryly at that thought, which had her mind wandering to thoughts of what sort of relief an orgasm or two might bring... She sighed, and forced her mind away from those thoughts. It wasn’t going to happen any time soon, for obvious reasons.
She took a deep cleansing breath and tried to just let the music wash over her, a nice blend of gentle instrumentation and tranquil nature sounds. As Spa Music went, this was actually pretty decent.
Which lead to thoughts of how she had had opportunity to sample many different Spa’s music selection. Her job had her travelling a lot, and her salary meant she could afford to indulge in these treatments to help with the high stress of the job itself. Hey, it was better than therapy!
But no amount of money in the world could solve her problems now. As advanced as medical science was, there are some things the community simply hadn’t figured out yet. The human body is a complex organism, so intricately wired.
Karina could almost see the therapists eye brow lifting as she felt the tension starting again in she shoulders. “Sorry,” she murmured, and tried to do a better job setting Reality aside for the moment. “Let go, and let God. Let go, and let God.” She repeated the mantra to herself over and over. Karina wasn’t exactly what you would call a religious person, but the sentiment was there. Trust to the Universe to provide for you in this time of need, Stop getting in your own way. Stress just takes a harder toll on your already taxed autonomive systems. Relax...
She didn’t even know she had fallen drifted into a state of half sleep until she felt the gentle double tap that was her signal to roll over. She did so smoothly, relying on her body’s muscle memory to reposition herself.
The girl’s hands -What had been her name? Jeny? Jessica? Jazmine?- worked in circles, massaging in the lotion before applying a more intense pressure and pulling the tension away from her spine and shoulders. She eventually worked out enough knots to apply a technique that Karina referred to as the butterfly spread, asking her to place the back of her hand at the small of her back with she gently pulled on the shoulder blade and then worked her fingers into the hollow under the bone to get at the muscles couched there.
Karina sighed with relief as the pain slowly ebbed away. She was going to have to come to terms with the chronic pain, but she wasn’t going to just sit back and let it ruin her life, either. Karina was not one to sit idly by and let the world keep on spinning without her, She may not be able to control everything about her body, but she was damn well going to take what steps she could! She was not going to be of those victims of a disease that people pitied and thought to themselves “I don’t know how she does it!”
Besides; what were her options? Keep going or give in? Ha! Fat chance of the latter! She was not going to let this thing beat her!
