My English

Saturday, March 5th, 2005

Just did a quick test on my english skills. The Result ?

Inter-Advanced
You scored 73% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 87% Advanced, and 72% Expert!

You have a good understanding of intermediate and advanced commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of the intermediate and advanced level questions correct. The puzzling part of your test result is the fact that you only answered 75% or less correct in the beginner section. Fascinating.

Compared to users who took the test and are and in your age group:

* 100% had lower Beginner scores.
* 100% had lower Intermediate scores.
* 100% had lower Advanced scores.
* 100% had lower Expert scores.

Looks like my English is pretty good … for a non native speaker…

THE triggerpoint

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

Just had my fourth session with Bill.

Looks like we found the core of the problem.
There is a really (really REALLY) bad triggerpoint on my left levator ani (the Coccygeus to be exact).
By pressing on the triggerpoint he could refer pain to all the parts of my body I had problems with over the last month;
And - maybe more importantly - he caused the itching (which was the first problem that I had) to get really bad.

I made 4 other appointments and will be back in Edinburgh in early April and early May.

This might really be the solution :)

Edinburgh

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005

I’m still in Embra.
Sitting atop of Caffe Nero in Princess Street.
The internet link up is fast … if a bit expensive at about 5 quid a day.

It’s very cold outside, but I have to take a lunch break sometime later.
Might even take a tour of the National Gallery of Modern Art. They have an Andy Warhole exhibistion on right now.

Or I’ll just sit here the whole afternoon.
The problem is that they only have about four power outlets, so once you leave you mind find yourself coming back
with an empty battery and now power :(

Scotland

I had my third treatment today.
Three hours of torture, but I think it was worth it.

Bill said it’s about 40% better compared to the first treatment.
(I was thinking 30%, but I guess he is right.)

He’s getting down to deeper layers now and seems to be pretty confident
that he is doing the right thing.

Well, I’ll wait and see.

Next treatment is on thursday.
