Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
I just had my third visit from my home health therapist. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. But those tiny little hands are killing me!
Apparently my calf muscle is full of knots and she massages them to help. Its insane. I never knew my legs were so sensitive to touch. I guess it’s because I never poke around back there. And neither does anyone else.
The most difficult exercises are;
1) One knee bent. One straight. Then I have to lift the straight leg up and down 10 times. Then I switch legs.
2) Same exercise except leg goes out instead of up. My hips are fused and dont go very far.
3) Heel stretches of any kind. My heels suck. (I just realized that’s an odd thing to complain about. I don’t like my heels)
Besides that, the hardest part is getting my dog to leave us alone.
Other than that, everything has been great. I had the usual Thanksgiving at my grandmothers. She always cooks the Turkey three days in advance. Then she cuts it up and puts it in the refrigerator. It’s disgusting. But, hey, it’s grandma, so no complaints :) This year we had it at ten o’clock in the morning. Mmm. Cold turkey at ten. Who cares. The family was together. I got to see my favorite cousin( who is more like a little sister) She’s going to nursing school about 6 hrs away, so I never see her. So that was nice.
I hope everyone had a good one.
