It was cold and
dark and gloomy this morning as I sat up and headed out the door for
my outpatient there. The weather is going to be cold and rainy all
week as we pushed through April, sweet , spring April. And cannot
blame April from four weather or what feels like or what is April the
month change the world is pushing itself up on its great axis so the
sun might more fully and directly heat are part of the globe with the
temperatures and the days I love. So, more snow in the mountains more
rain in the valleys the grass is growing out of control and I am
sitting in my house warm and toasty smelling a wonderful roast roast
and thinking great thoughts for dinner.
Therapy was okay
today. It was only an hour of physical therapy with Stephanie and
that's okay I'm getting used to this therapist, likely – – in my
opinion. I'm still making up my mind and trying to be open-minded. I
am finding she is teach the stuff that I can use in my daily life as
a person with a disability. I don't know how much I'm going to use
her methodology of transfers and such but she is basically right
course – – best practices along. I just know how I do my stuff it
seems to work but I continue to challenge myself to keep an open mind
as to these other forms of physical therapy and get what physical
therapy I can that is helpful. Like with this therapist I get a
little stretching not like I got in acute rehab but still stretching.
I am doing some work and focusing on transferring. May have to
reconsider what I want to accomplish with the time I have with the
PT.
I'm so impressed
with what we've accomplished so far this year. I'm so pleased that
Dianne suggested we relocate our medical family to the death Star.
The best part about being part of IMC's medical family is the
convenience and professionalism of the programs we are using. Not
that I could not get to any of the facilities that I was receiving
physical therapy/occupational therapy from before I could take hours
and a major part of my day. Now I can drive my chair over to TOSH and
probably 7 to 10 minutes maybe a little longer but not much. It's a
safe indirect role just enough to let me know that I've gone out that
day. Staff at Tosh are professional and fun. Maybe just me and such
unique find for them there excited to know what I know which I know
sounds weird somewhat smug but it seems true. I'm loving this part of
my outpatient rehabilitation.I was a bit disappointed at just one
hour rehabilitations for me but at the same time when my therapist
encouraged me to stay on and workout, use the weights in a Wellness
fashion I thought about it but my eyes were drawn to the window next
to the clouds dark menacing billowing up threatening to unleash
moisture which I did not want to become up in. I thought about
lifting weights but knew I could use my arm bike and play around
the weights I have the house and be just fine. Maybe I will go in
tomorrow and lift weights.
It's a wonderful
spring day, will be in my room with my computer my art supplies and
awaits I think I'm becoming a better me.
