So since I've been diagnosed with SPS I've been in and out of physical therapy. First I was at a hospital's outpatient center. When I started it was crazy! I was pushed to to the limits. The pt and ot there at first made me cry because they wanted me to do better. So I did... I tried and tried my best, but my legs where just not responding not knowing I had what I did. Any ways I was there for a year or more which the end result ended with me walking, but it wasn't walking walking I looked like I was drunk sometimes. Whatever they got me walking right!
Finally after being diagnosed my neuro wanted me to go back, so I did to the same place but only for a while. Six months at the most I went before my doctor told me to take a break. I was fine not going because it was painful, although I had fun! The pt Chris would just make things fun while my ot would come up with the funniest thing sometimes.
Now after this last episode I've been place at a different physical therapy center. The physical therapist there is understand a bit more I'm guessing more because now they know what it is that I have and she actually looked in to it. Not just jumped in to figure our why it was that I wasn't walking. I enjoy it and hope I keep progressing because since I've been here in January I've started walking semi normal which is a big deal for me at least lol. Oh not to mention they helped me get a cool wheelchair where I can actually push myself not like the old lump of 50 pounds. lol.
