Dear Willow, this is your Knee. You're a bitch! No love. Knee on the Left.
PT is pain. It's pain to make you stronger and better, but it's pain.

Things I noticed today:

- Hot damn PT is pain

- When limping and using a cane in a hospital, whether from a fear of lawsuites, the training to note something is wrong, or some natural caring; many, many people will ask you if you need a wheelchair to get around. (In my case many was 4)

- I'm going to need to be treating myself to dinner in the vendor-cafeteria after PT, because no way am I going to be able to stand up in a kitchen and cook after. The walk back to the subway and then from the subway to where I live is too long. And in the new apt, I'll be walking uphill from where public transport drops me off.

I had a raspberry smoothie today that was worth the almost 4$ it cost, just cause the flavour made me smile.

- Hot damn PT is pain

- I should have just used photoshop instead of worrying about some type of 'proper' signature when it came to paperwork thingies. Cause my plans to do stuff today after PT were abruptly cancelled by the hot, simmering pain.

In other news, is it my computer or connection? Or are Twitter and iJay being weird and kind of fucked up?

PS: And oh yeah. I had regular therapy.

	You could set up the slowcooker to just be finishing something when you got back, if you wanted your own food. Or make a casserole earlier in the week you just had to pop in the oven. Congratulations on getting through your first physical therapy session! (Reply to this)

	It's ingrained in us health care worker types. Mazel Tov on the surviving the Physical Terrorist. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks. She was very nice, and mostly gentle. But ow. And I really felt it on the way home. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	congratulations on making your session and surviving it! (can you make up a lunch plate or something to be ready when you get home? or take a packed lunch to eat with your smoothie to fuel up before you head home?) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Pandora? And my next session is this coming Monday. I don't think I'll be mentally or physically prepared to make up a plate. But then I have a two week break while I move. So I think I'll give things more thought then as to what to make. (Reply to this) (Parent)
