Physical and Occupational Therapy Update!

My next physical therapy session was on January 8, 2013. We repeated the "6 Minute Walk Test" and this time I was able to walk approximately 1500 feet in the 6 minute time frame. My PT told me that I had done significantly better than he thought I would and that I had met all of the goals that he had made for me. The last thing he wanted to check was how I was going up and down the stairs. When he saw how much I had improved on my own...he decided to discharge me. He said "It is a miracle that you have bounced back this much in so little time" I replied "It is not me...it is God." After only 2 sessions of PT, I was discharged. Another doctor/appointment that I can scratch off my list.

My next occupational therapy session was also on January 8, 2013. This appointment was different from the first one and it was a different therapist. This therapist worked me out....I was sore by the time I got home. He was very nice and gave me exercises to be doing at home. I was determined to knock this other therapist off my list because I was tired of appointments so I did exactly what he told me to do and then some.

The next session was January 10, 2013. He showed me some new exercises and had seen that my arms were already stronger. He was also shocked. He could tell that I have been following what he told me to. The strength in my hands had improved...they weren't average yet but they had significantly improved. He asked me if I thought that I could continue the exercise regimen that he had showed me on my own....of course I told him I could because I have been. He decided to discharge me! I was ecstatic!

No more therapists!!!!!
