My PT's after my rotator cuff surgery were all women, ranging from "Wow, too bad you're married" to "Wow, I think I just broke a few thought laws" and I would follow them all through walls of pain to return to proper form and function.heydavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509102502417886790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11211639.post-84412382359404619722008-04-17T10:08:00.000-04:002008-04-17T10:08:00.000-04:00Fuck it, dude.
