We go through life thinking
that what if…?
Is it irrational thoughts to
want that what if to be to physically improve you?
Even when you know that you
have an illness that can’t be cured?
Perhaps, the only not logical
thinking is thinking that you can go backwards in time to be what you used to
be? We all know that is impossible? Or is it? One can only try to prolong their
life with every tried and true methodology available that is legal and logical,
hmm?
And so with a healthful diet,
as always, and an exercise plan in the works, I am on a journey that I have
been on before… and it did work, but not with all these obstacles in my way…all
any of us can do is try. And since I received an award for Perseverance in
Business way back in 1968 from the Berkeley School, perseverance is perseverance
and it has worked for me in all aspects of my life before and so here I go,
continuing…with my determination!
Any-who… today, I went back
to the rehab in spite of my collapse on Tuesday; you know, you just have to do
it, Nike!
Knowing that even though I had a nasty morning this morning of
hip pain going down the left leg like sciatica, which I have had many times
before, but not recently.
Had to look up what to do for
it since I forgot, used to be an issue with my discs pinching the sciatic nerve
in the tushy but with the MS it is usually an issue with my nerves
demyelination in the spinal cord in the same area though. But the care for it
is the same, rest, and, alternating warm compresses with ice packs and a warm
bath seemed to help by the time I wanted to leave. And probably the fact I had
my daily Copaxone shot and two doses of about half my eighteen pills for the
day done by then, couldn’t hurt and it didn’t any longer and so we went!
One of the slant boards was
available, but here they both are, due to Hubby taking this shot after the
woman was all done. This is on the side where the treatments are for PT and OT,
specifically; in the area where the arm cycle is, is as well as all the other
equipment that is for independent users and patients too.
Foolishly at first, I was
going to wait for the arm cycle because someone was using it and it was how I
had been doing it, the arm cycle first than the slant board. But I reversed my
usual, doing the slant board first than the arm cycle and it all worked out
just fine. Still at ten minutes on the arm cycle, and 25 reps and repeat with
25 more on the slant board. Hopefully soon I will be capable of moving up to
more reps on both. Today was sixth visit.
This is the arm cycle with
the seat slid off to its left, removed, to pull my wheelchair in.
Now the arm cycle being
demonstrated how it works, while sitting in a wheelchair.
Sadly, that is me, but you
all knew that.
Hubby blurred the photo,
which is good, not my best side; the additional weighted look is due to me
wearing my cooling vest.
On that note of some note of
minutia… allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good
night and ask you to kindly to count all your blessings and share all your
overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear?!
