Physical Therapy?

I have not made it back to Physical Therapy since day 2.  I did go on Monday, but I had a temperature of 102.8, and every movement I made caused extreme hacking.  They said "GO HOME!"  I didn't have to be asked twice! 

Trying again next week, if I still have 2 lungs!

Day 2 of Physical Therapy

I had another PT session today, and somewhere between measuring on Tuesday, I had let's try to hurt you ---- real bad Friday!  Ow!  I don't hurt - mostly!  There are muscles in my neck - who knew!!!!!  I don't believe the movements actually hurt - as much as the concentration on specific muscles, the holding for a count of 30, and the repetitions!  It appears that the physical therapist is trying to alleviate my pain by trying to wound me - OW!

I know this will get easier, it is not my first time through PT!  However, I used to get a bit of a massage at the end - then ice.  Today, just ice!  That is not playing fair!

My intake of vitamin D is being "artificially" raised, to the tune of 50,000 per day!   I was perhaps a bit low on vitamin D - I had a measurement of 8 as opposed to 30-100! 

Waffle House with a friend - for breakfast this morning - yum!

Physical Therapy

I started physical therapy yesterday.  The therapist seems like a really nice person.  How is it that petite women have the pointiest fingers?  I have lost a great deal of strength and muscle tone protecting my Neurostimulator from myself!  Now I will be given exercises that are not going to affect the device's location - as long as I don't over-do it!  It is hard to be an over achiever and not over-do something!

Today I visit my family doctor to talk about my 12% bone loss in the last 2 years.......  Oops!
