I think you nailed it with expectation and trying to appease someone @plantstoplanks. Ice NUMBS and we tend to think less pain = healing. The studies show this to be NOT true. What surprised me last night the most is I developed a fever - and yes, I am that person propped up in bed at 11pm googling inflammation and fever. It's real and a fascinating healing response to soft tissue trauma. Might try and blog about that too.
Luckily fever is gone today cos going to the shops here with fever in Covid era? 🤣
Oh gosh, I can only imagine trying to explain that to the shops. The only place I've been so far where they take temperatures is actually at the farmers market. Seems silly since it is all outdoors, but I think they only do it to give people a sense of security (false or otherwise). I'm sure the fever/inflammation post would be a good one to hit!
Do blog about it!! I know fevers are GOOD.. but definitely interested in these readings..
@plantstoplanks They take your fever and track&trace details here to go into a convenience store and even to tank petrol. There's ONE local shop where they know me, and the local market wave me through if I look like I'm in a hurry, which is what I did today. I STILL have fever 36 hours on. Interesting to observe.
