Shower Pressure
Not talking about the pressure of water pummeling my head as I rinse the soap out of my hair... Talking about the column of pressure created by gravity and the fluids in my body pushing down, pooling in my feet. Every time I take a longer shower---seems to take forever to wash this mop of hair--- I feel uncomfortable pressure. Have I been imagining it, or does the color look different? Today I really looked and then grabbed my camera. My right foot is a distinctly reddish purplish color. No wonder. That explains why ice and elevation always feel so good after a shower. That explains why moseying around a museum is much more difficult than a saunter down a lava tube. That explains why standing to stir soup makes me dance in place. My body needs the pumping of muscles to counteract the effects of gravity. I wonder how long I get to put up with this....
