I am not sure if physiotherapy is helping me or hurting me lately.
About a week ago I hurt myself. My body told me it had enough. For close to the last week I have had pain practically all over. I have tried to get some exercise in but I get a little bit done and I have to quit due to the pain. I have had to take painkillers to make it through the week.
I made a friend in the hospital and we kept in touch. He got a leg amputated due to diabetes and is staring retirement in the face and is wondering what to do with his life. When in the hospital I suggested he get a motorcycle and he got hooked on the idea of getting a Can Am Spyder. Stable and easy to ride if you have one leg. He wanted to go to the motorcycle show as he is hooked on the idea so I went with him on April 12. I used my walker due to all the walking I would have to do. All the walking I did that day I must have ended up being over a mile. The entrance was on one side and of course the show was on the opposite end. Handicapped parking was a bit of a walk as well. My body started experiencing pain that evening. I did prove to myself I can get on a Can Am Ryker with ease.
I went to two physiotherapy appointments this past week even though I was in pain. That may or may not have been a good move. I have been known to be stupidly stubborn. I did too much and the pain was damn unpleasant.
Whatever happened it is subsiding and hopefully I can get back to trying to get better.
Sometimes we're our own worst enemies it seems. You're wise to take a few days to regroup and let your body lead the way.

ReplyDeleteI belong to that club too.
Sorry to hear of these difficulties. I'm sure physio will help eventually but still, painful getting there. I hope you have a happy Easter today with your family.
