Rain or shine, snot or cough, I was really excited for physio today! Since I last saw my physiotherapist, I’ve gone off pretty much all of my medications, except for the occasional headache I still get, which I take Tylenol for. She gave me so much information, and she and Dr. Guselle both made me feel very empowered and encouraged. With those things in mind, and some serious miracles, I am feeling considerably better!
Brady had finished his house earlier than expected, so instead of him meeting me at the appointment and hanging with the kids in the van, he came home and tapped me out, so I got ready and headed out on my own. Our little outing last night was a nice save for my cabin fever, but this was pretty refreshing as well.
I started with physio, where she was super surprised that I had gone off of everything! She gave me a lot more information and we made another plan of exercises and things to think about. She is so low stress, and is SO optimistic. In one instance, I had to do something with my legs individually, and I could tell my right leg was shaky. I commented “I hate my right leg, it gives me so much grief.” She turned me around and reminded me that I shouldn’t hate any part of me, but that my leg gave me problems because before, there was no plan. She reassured me that I will be able to function WELL down the road without insane leg or pelvic pain. I left feeling very encouraged, and like I am very capable of finding improvement sooner than later.
After physio, I headed to Walmart to buy some snacks and treats for a little trip the fam and I are hoping to take soon. I succumbed to the pressure of the cosmetics counter as well and managed to walk away with a few beauty products as well. Those things, a grocery or two, and new water bottles for Brady and I were all I needed, and I was done fairly quickly. I knew my errands seemed to end too soon, and as I type this now, I’m realizing I completely skipped Starbucks!!! Blast!
Still avery successful, encouraging outing, I’d say. I’ll see my physiotherapy again in two weeks, and we’ll keep moving from there, but I’m feeling very positive and hopeful that I can be in considerably less pain at least very soon. Now to kick this cold….
