Good treatment yesterday. Chiro up in Newcastle first, bunch of chest drops to adjust ribs, hip drops, neck adjustments. Then 3 hrs deep tissue massage. Seems some shiatsu devices I’ve invested in helping a bit - fewer toes dislocated than usual, ankles better #EhlersDanlos
Scar tissue in calves still needed breaking down, but not as painful. Unholy trinity of sartorial, IT band and hip flexors all being terrible was excruciating to untangle. #EhlersDanlos#DeepTissue
Both kneecaps over 2in out of place but relatively easy to get back in, once the unholy trinity and soleus all sorted. Key seems to be to attack soleus from the sides with knees flexed (ie laid on side, semi-foetal position). #EhlersDanlos#DeepTissue
Intercostals had been spasmed for a while (not unusual for me given travel and cold that turned into a chest infection just before Berlin) but were faster & less painful to release than usual, presumably because of the chest drops #EhlersDanlos#DeepTissue#Chiropractic
In a moment of super clumsiness in the week, I managed to stand up a little in a meeting room chair, catch my phone in my back pocket on it, then tumble back ONTO the chair. So I had a bunch of bruises & a tennis ball-sized lump on right triceps :-/ #EhlersDanlos#DeepTissue
And of course the gorram biceps tendon was out of its groove AGAIN, always a pain to knock back into place. But I didn’t realise how much mental load there was coping with both my arms basically being twisted up until they worked normally again #EhlersDanlos#DeepTissue

Latest in the “moving into tech leadership and/or management” subtheme here today at #LeadDevSanFrancisco is “Becoming a Manager Somewhere Else” from @mybluewristband
“Not all the advice provided in this talk will definitely work for you, as it’s my own story”
Jenn’s Career Trajectory:
- civil engineer
- mechanical engineer
- structural engineer
- customer support (to get foot in the door of tech)
- web developer (~5 years)
- software engineer (again. Another 3 yrs)
- moving towards management
“Three Things to Look for in the Person:
[0) Care about people (non-neg) ] 1) Doubts (filter out power hungry) 2) Growth mindset (highly competent at engineering —> highly incompetent at managing) 3) Courage to be disliked (recognition changes)
“Inclusion is a foundation for setting and creating a level playing field for people to be given opportunities to succeed. Inclusion has to presume competence.”
I love the @TheLeadDev crowd so much. They just gave @carlaprvieira applause and whooping for explaining it’s her first time in the US and her first international conference talk here at #LeadDevSanFrancisco 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
