I'm a fifty year old man, and want to share. Dunno why really, except that I'm bored and hurting, and writing helps take my mind off the pain.
Most of the time I can keep the pain at bay with Tylenol or the occasional Tramadol, but some days it's so bad that walking from my living room chair to the toilet is torture.
A series of x-rays, cat scans, and blood tests lead my doc to believe it's rheumatoid arthritis, which is just icing on the cake that is my life at this point. Not only do I get to slowly waste away, I get to do it with debilitating pain.
Well, the other day I was deep in the dumps; I had a severe case of the poor-me-syndrome and was complaining to a good friend who I'd invited over. He eventually got fed up with my whining and asked why I didn't go see a masseuse. I continued my bellyaching, this time about being on a fixed income, and doubted that Medicare or Medicaid would cover the cost; to which my friend replied that he knew a guy who was a private physical therapist. He was pretty sure he could convince him to give me a free treatment, so long as I kept it hush-hush and maybe fed him a decent meal as payment.
I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I agreed. My buddy promised to pass along my number and my sob story, and after another half-hour of listening to my crybaby nonsense, found an excuse to get out of earshot of me.
A few days later I had completely forgotten about the conversation about the physical therapist. My phone rang with an unknown caller. Assuming a telemarketer, I answered with my gruffest, most irritated, "What?"
"Am I speaking with Jack Mehoff?" asked a male voice on the other end.
"Who's speaking," I barked, still irritated at having my day interrupted by a useless marketing call.
"Uh... I'm a friend of John Johnson... he gave me your number," said the voice on the other end. "Did I call you at a bad time?"
I sighed loudly. Great first impression, asshat, I thought. I quickly explained my behavior. Happily, the guy seemed to have a good sense of humor and laughed off my gruff introduction, saying he'd probably have done the same if he was in my situation.
We chatted for a bit, he asked about my medical issues, I told gave him the standard sob story I gave to every medical professional who asked; life ending disease, newly diagnosed arthritis, crappy Texas weather, high cost of living in my home state of California, etc.
The PT, we'll call him Joe, name changed to protect the blah blah blah, mmhmmed, yessir'd, and commiserated at all the right places, then after I had finished warbling on about how unfair life was, asked if it would be alright if he stopped by later in the week to assess my situation. I agreed and we set up a time and date.
On the arranged day, right at the specified time, Joe was at my door. He's a hefty guy, mid thirties, about five-eleven or so, neatly trimmed brown hair, a trucker's tan, and dressed in what I'd call a track suit, though there's probably a more fashionable name for it nowadays. He carried with him an oversized gym bag. All in all, a clean, handsome guy with a firm handshake.
We had a seat in the living room and discussed some terms for his services. He'd work on me if he had a spare time slot so long as I gave him a week's advance notice. I'd also have to agree to keep quiet about our arrangement. I agreed to both terms.
My first session with Joe happened in my bedroom. He offloaded from his bag a waterproof sheet, a foam exercise mat, and a selection of bottles of various tinctures and unguents. He set me up across the foot of my bed, me in my boxers with the waterproof sheet and exercise mat under me.
Now, let me tell you, I haven't been touched intimately by another human being in almost five years, since I left my home state of California for the bass-ackwards state of Texas. My being in a general state of misery and ill temper meant that most females of the species regarded me with either pity, disgust, or a little bit of both.
Which is why, I think, when Joe laid hands upon me and started gently poking, prodding, and kneading, certain parts of my anatomy reacted. The little soldier was standing at attention, ready and rearing to sally forth and slay any virgins, MILFs, or unlucky grandmas who got in his way.
