Going to see if hot shower will help.
2:00p- PT study went well. There were 10 advanced neuro physical therapy students in the class today. Their assignment was to do an inital evaluation to determine what was wrong and different injuries. It was quite interesting and challenging at times.
I brought my usual paperwork that I bring to new apts but gave at end of class. They were amazed but very thankful that I chose to participate.
They even challenged me…asked me what my goal was in all of this. I wasn’t sure how to answer. Told them to be able to do more physically bc I’m not able to do half of what I used to and to be able to encourage others to get the help they need.
They will meet with professor (my physical therapist) tomorrow to discuss they’re prognosis and come up with action plan.
Friday they will finish up testing they weren’t able to complete today and discuss action plan with me. I will ve able to give my input as well.
11:50p- I’m exhausted and hurting all over. Migraine included. Rx taken. Hope to sleep some tonight.
