Had PT today. It went well. short sentences seem to be the way this blog is starting. Lol. My therapist was impressed with all of the hard work I have been putting in. I now have the ROM that I had prior to surgery. I am back to normal movement wise! He was pleased, he said he was happy that I was doing what was asked of me, and it felt like a win. It was nice to hear someone say good job. I felt like I was doing something right, so I am proclaiming today a win. I told him how sore my back has been along my spine, in the center of my back, and under my shoulder blades. He took a look and felt around and he found the reason my back was sore. Apparently the muscles that remain in my back and wrap around my sides were in knots. He said this was probably from working and building up these muscles. Then I got a massage. I know, you are thinking awesome right? Yeah, no. Not so awesome. He worked out all those knots and then massaged out my lat scars. I don’t know how many of you out there have scars on thin skin areas, but that was NOT in any way a pleasant sensation. It hurt like (insert your favorite 4 letter word here). But I know that it was to help so I just laid and allowed them to try and help. My back is now very sore. All over. Took some Tylenol and have been drinking lots of fluids to try and flush the toxins out from my EXTREME deep tissue Swedish massage. It felt like I had a 200 lb woman named Helga working on my back. Hopefully that helps. Maybe some moist heat would help. That’s the next step. No more PT until after my exchange on Feb. 6. I will be very limited on my range of motion for the first few days after surgery. No lifting, no raising my arms over my head, no pushing and no pulling. You know what the difference is this time as compared to last? This time I will be capable of doing all of those things, they just don’t want me to so I can heal faster. All of those previous things that I noted I was incapable of doing after my first surgery. I have come a long way. A really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way. I am looking forward to this surgery…almost there.
