Physical Therapy begins

[akaihyo]

Had my first physical therapy session today. My foot and ankle having been pushed down for nearly three weeks, it is weakened and needs to regain about 30 degrees of movement. It is also vulnerable to swelling. So, I have been given exercises and technique to help restore flexibility and movement and to reduce the swelling. In other words, things are getting better, slowly.

May have more news on the healing at the end of the week when I have my next physical therapy appointment.

Glad that there's progress. Don't worry about the slowness, worry about muddling through the plateu. Cause there will come a time when you won't notice an improvement, and there will be parts of you that says there wasn't any and that is the killer.

Plateaus suck. But struggle through, and you'll find that you were fooling yourself.

Anyway, I once again repeat that Jess and I are here iffin' ya need anythin'.
