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.

Let me clarify something before I go on at Dr. G's clinic the Physical therapist there was amazing I can't complain. She and her staff made my time there go by fast it also was fun in another level. See she knew my straight and my weaknesses, which gave her a better understand of how to go one with my treatment. We played soccer, basketball, and sometimes just threw a ball around with the intention of me catching it. While at the hospital clinic since I wasn't able to stand and walk around I was limited in the games I could play. So they well I should say she as well because I mostly stayed with same physical therapist during my time there came up with different activities I could do for example weights on my legs and pulling someone around in a circle in their clinic. They were both equally fun to be around.

I would go back and forth sometimes with my progress, but then again who doesn't with SPS. Not to mention I made it was hard for them, because at the beginning of that summer I was diagnoses with AVN, which is short of Avascular necrosis of the hip, and that was no bueno. I could not put pressure on hip which meant no stand exercises. Yeah a whole hour of stretching was what they wanted for three months... Yeah they weren't going for that I had to do something I couldn't use the off weighted device anymore, because I wasn't with Dr. G's clinic anymore I was at the other place I was limited in what I was able to do. They figured it out and I was able to work out with them till I couldn't anymore and well that's next!

October and God's Choice

 So October came and went so fast that it was crazy. It seemed like only summer when were getting everything together for the SPS think in Vegas, but here it was that day pasted so fast. Not to mention the night some of didn't want it to end! Although we left now being able to put a face to that person we had been talking to over the computer we left with even stronger friendships. Here are some of the picture from dinner             Like I said that day came and went so far and I'm glad people got to hang out afterwards. I on the other hand had to come back home. So I started Physical and Occupational therapy since then and I'd like to think I'm doing pretty good. I've had little set backs but nothing major. Although I'm pretty sure I've aggravated every muscle in my body. I have my up and down days just like everyone else, but thank God I have my mom with me. She always tells me..." When ...

Where I am today...

A lot has happened since I've wrote last... see I've came and went to the Mayo Clinic with more question and no answers. So I've decided that my journey with the Mayo Clinic is over. And now I'm losing faith with the doctors I have... See things don't seem to add up anymore, and the one person who was trying to put things together is no longer at the faculty I was in. Although we still keep in touch and is helping me get though somethings. SO as of now I got to physical therapy is three times a week and that is if they have availability since the main pt left. They try to fit me in as much as possible, and have me stay there as long as I can in order to try to get back to where I was before. Although to tell you the truth all this madness going on with the doctors and medication has just made things worst. To start off since I came back my medication dosage has dropped drastically. See before I was on: Tizandine 4mg every 2-4 hrs. Baclofen 40mg twice 4x a day Valium...
