Physical Therapy

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.

Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy... Check!

Now comes the topic of PT and OT from before... This all happened in 2011 to 2012... Yes I was no longer at physical therapy in Dr. G. clinic because it was only for her patients, but once a week I attend what was called Wellness kinda like gym membership at Dr. G. clinic and get therapy from them in order to use the off weighted device I did that till I could. So off I went back to where I was before at Out Patient Rehab for Baptist Hospital. I was going to PT and OT at the out patient clinic from the hospital where they made things fun and I was able to joke around with them, but still get my work done till I couldn't and I'll tell you why in a minute. For now I'll tell you what I was doing I was getting better slowly, not a big difference from the last place because this place didn't have the off weighted device.
