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.

What's next after the Cardiac Ablation...

My mom calls my neuro doc. and right away they see us. She is amazed at the fact that she wasn't called because if it was for her I should have stayed there. She ran blood work and gave me a steroid boost. Since I had just had my IVIG a week prior. Afterward she said she wanted to see me the following week and begin pt right away. Following week, I started school and didn't know what to do. I emailed all my teachers who were some what understanding. Yeah NO! To let them know the situations that was going on. Since most of my classes where online I didn't have much to worry about except my A&P class, but at least he was the one and only teacher that understood. So the week started and so did pt evaluations, more doctor's appt. and extra treatments. AGH I was starting to go even more crazy then I already was! jk. My neuro started me on a new medication called Keppra that's suppose to be for seizure but seems to work for spasms as well. Did good for a while. My mom...
