Healing is frustrating
June 02, 2019
I’m almost walking, and I’m walking just a bit better each day.
I’m doing 5 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the recumbent bike, and all the exercises the PT people have me do.
I am going to PT twice a week. Each time I go in, they tell me I’m doing better. Then they give me something I can’t do and I get frustrated. They send me home, aching, and aching the next day. Two days after, I start feeling good again.
It’s been a month — seems longer, I was thinking it was 6 weeks last week.
The last time I used assistance to walk was to go to dog class. I knew that walking through the building would wear me out. I was able to do about half of class, so that wasn’t bad.
I give myself a major walking goal most days.
I feel better, writing this, as I just realized it wasn’t as long as I thought.
