food is medicine

after laying over bolsters and icing my shoulder all day i decided to concoct my own home made v-8 type drink;  mostly because almost all the ingredients are anti-inflammatory foods and clearly, i am inflamed.  i was so excited about this, certain that it would be awesome and delicious and great to share with everyone.  in my mind it would be so good that on a day when i didn't need the anti-inflammatory properties - i could add vodka!  it would be like a healthy cocktail.  so i set to work;  i used a half a clove garlic, a sprig of basil, a slice of onion, a bowl of spinach, a few sticks of celery and most of a cucumber.  then i blended the resulting juice in a blender with a tomato.

it was disgusting.
i should have just made a salad.

however, about an hour and a half later - the inflammation, along with the pain, had gone down considerably.  so i still consider this a success story.  (the moral is, drink your veggies.)
