It's normal to feel somewhat sore after deep-tissue massage. Deep-tissue massage isn't "Calgon, take me away", it's serious therapeutic stuff, breaking down knots and adhesions and forcing toxins out of the muscles (and into your bloodstream where they can be disposed of). I've been receiving deep-tissue work weekly for a long time, and I *always* feel like shit the next day from detox. Drink lots of water (which you do already), and do some gentle stretching; try to keep moving so you won't stiffen up.
When I say I get regular massage, people are always like "Oh, that must be nice and relaxing". The truth is that it's pretty unpleasant (but necessary) to have someone go digging after many years' worth of deep knots and trigger points. T_T But after regular sessions, the nasty constant knots do finally begin to let go...
I don't know if I could put up with that each week. Sounds like it needs to be done though. About how long do you think it would take to repair all the damage so you wouldn't need it so deeply anymore?
i am soooo sorry about your kitty. i cried. if it was lucy i would be inconsoleable. you both will be in my thoughts and prayers. congratulations on your shopping spree. i can't wait to feel that way again. i tried on a pair of jeans, to see where i am at and how much i have to lose to fit into them again, and that will be a very happy day for me. my drive is coming back again. i miss my clothes!!!! i hear after deep tissue soreness is a standard--releasing toxins, undoing muscle tension and knots and trigger points does a number, but it could be great in the long run! :) i have fibromyalgia--i've heard pros and cons of someone with fibro doing it--i don;t know if i could handle THAT pain...hope you have a great time at einter shoppingland. enjoy your spotted dick! :p
*hugs* Thanks for the thoughts. I miss my little kitty so much. I always knew the day would come when I had to be without her, but I didn't expect it like this.
As for the other, yeah, I had a great time trying on all the clothes. I spent too much, and want to go back and spend more. :) Don't worry, you'll get there!
I don't know that I want a regular DTM again, that hurt and I'm just sore. I like nice gentle relaxing massages. But I guess if I'm still tense after this one, from what everyone has told me you need them regularly to be any good. Ouch!
I had a good time at WSL, it was nice to see Dave, wish you could have been there. Thanks for the Spotted Dick! :)

I hope your kitty does make it home safe and sound, and soon. I know I'd be lost without my little insane balls of fur to pet.
