I’m not real good at blogging regularly. Shoot, I’m not at all good at blogging regularly. It’s about to get worse.
I’ve been OK’d by Medicare to get some physical therapy through the month of August or thereabouts. That means I’m making 120-mile round trips twice a week. Between that and the recovery day or days between trips, plus my “homework,” I have even less time and energy than I normally have. Which is not much.
It’s all physically exhausting and painful, but if it works, even a bit, so that I can maybe walk without a cane or be without pain when I do normal everyday functions, then it’ll be worth it. I’ll be closer to a normal life again.
I’ve tried so many things over the last twenty years, things that promised to help but that didn’t do anything for me, that I’d pretty much given up on trying anything else. But I had one session over 15 years ago of this particular type of PT and then the woman that did it had to leave town when her husband was transferred.
I couldn’t find anyone locally that knew how to do it and it was just recently that I discovered a PT clinic relatively local that specialized in it. Thank goodness for the Internet!
So forgive me for even fewer blogs for a while, and hold good thoughts for me, OK?
I do hope that you begin to feel better soon and that you will continue to write. As you know, writing is a healing force as well.

Thanks, Marva. Thanks for coming by. Yes, writing is very healing and it’s been my lifeline for the last fifteen years or so. It didn’t “cure” me but it was very healing. Thanks for your comment. Always nice to get.

Thanks, Sharon. It’s made some difference already, though overcoming the bad effects of posture that was initially protective may take a while. I tend to “relapse” back into old habits that have held sway for twenty years so it may take a while to get over them.

Thanks, Nancilynn. I really feel like this time something is different than with the other therapies I’ve tried. I hope I’m not having false hope but it just has a different feel about it than before, you know?

Thanks, Mike. It’s been a bit rough at the beginning but that was to be expected. Today is a day-after (therapy) day, which is often very rough, but today I feel good and have energy. That’s hard to beat!
