Yesterday’s treatment was good! Feels like the various shiatsu massager investments are helping tide me over between treatments (and obvs had a spa holiday in Barcelona between last treatment in Dec and this one; also a shorter gap). #EhlersDanlos
Ribs and intercostals were out, and chiro focused on this but plenty of deep tissue work to round it out as well. Right hip, knee and ankle were all a bit wonky, with knee having been out a lot. And apparently my right foot has hurt for 6+ months bcs cuneiform tarsals dislocated
The significant bruising after last lidocaine infusion mid Dec still hasn’t fully cleared, tho not quite as lurid as at its worst (pictured). Apparently my abs felt like they were full of marbles. Shoulder & bicep & elbow & forearm all twisted out, fixed now #EhlersDanlos
Most messed up, unsurprisingly given the migraine this week, were the vertebrae at top of my spine, tendons & ligaments attaching into my skull, and the muscles & tendons either side of my neck. Lots of cracks & adjustments and then intense deep pressure deep tissue work.
Passed out a few times, but never for very long, probably a good sign. This morning quite sore and aching, especially around chest and ribs (top rib was way out, horrible to relocate), kept forgetting to breathe. But doing ok now, about to travel back down to London #EhlersDanlos

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 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
