I was surprised to see him since it is so warm, I thought he would be running outside. Well anyways when I was done, I went over to his bike he was riding and he tried to smack me with his towel, but MISSED! But I got him with mine. I told him that old age is making him kinda slow!
He said his feet hurt (poor baby), so he was doing the bike instead of running. I said I see, so you are whimping out.
We talked a bit about getting my eyes checked today for the first time in over 25 years. He told me I should get glasses like Woody Allen. I am like I might BE a geek, but I don't want to look like one. LOL
We talked about my injury a little, they might have to neck surgury. NOT! Now way am I going to do such a thing.
IT was nice to see him. The conversation didn't feel weird, felt natural like in his office.

Glad you seem to be able to be just regular with him. Thats so huge.How long DID you talk?
And he interacted w/you by trying to smack ya w/towel, so he comfortable too. Thats really nice. Maybe it will be possible to be casual friends w/him. Or mebbe too hard for you?
Ohhhh, neck surgery....ugh...my sis had that. I would only choose it as a last option. I would try physio, chiro, accupunture etc first. Then if its messing your life, then I guess you goto give it a shot surgically. :(
Its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice that you are back. I really missed you being around.

Well you are a gem scentedgarden, I call it like I see it! I know that I am very lucky to see a side of my T that a lot of others don't. In July it will 2 years that I have seen him at the gym. It still brightens my day when I see him. I am so glad that I know him, he is one in a million.

Hi! We talked for maybe just 5 minutes or so. He kinda gave me a hint that we needed to stop, so I told him I won't get in the way of his "zone" of working out. He said yeah, I am in a zone, and then I said "sure you are". LOL
He saw me looking at the electronic numbers on his bike while he was riding and he asked me if I was checking his heart rate. Really I was kinda of shy and didn't want to stare at him the whole time. LOL
What do you mean I am different? I will keep surgury at a last resort. Right now I am doing accupuncture, electronic stimulation, untrasound, chiro, and massage treatements. I have hit a platau the last week and have not gotten better. They want to run some tests on metomorrow. Doing 3x a week sucks.
I think my T and I will have some sort of relationship after therapy because we will probably be running into each other often at the gym and other places. So maybe this is like a test ground for that.

Sounds like fun, isn't it great when you can feel relaxed (or at least, relatively so) and like a regular human being with your T just having a normal conversation.
Glad to hear it went well and keep having those fun gym times, boy that would motivate me for sure, I'd be there all the time ha ha.

Thanks canadagirl!
I was so nervous at first but now it is normal for me to see him. But to talk to him isn't as normal for me. I guess seeing him was a motivating factor to exercise, wasn't the only reason though. LOL
It sure has brought a realness to our relationship that I think we wouldn't have had. He sees me interact with others, and even though sometimes I feel like I am being analized, he usually only has postive stuff to say about me and about what he sees.
But I do admit it brightens my day when I see him, I just can't help that. ;-)
