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!

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...
