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!

Bio

My names Vanessa and I’m attending College to eventually become a Great Doctor. I’m taking it slow because I’ve been force to face obstacles that most people wouldn’t be able to handle. When I was 20, I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Stiff Person Syndrome, and because of that I’ve had to put some things in hold to be able to overcome what I’ve got to face. I attended Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio for two years as Biology Pre Med major. I miss OLLUSA, but hope to go back someday to finish off what I started. If not I’m sure I’ll be able to get my degree elsewhere and get to achieve what I hope to become. I love my family even though they annoy the crap out of me sometimes. They are a big part of my life no matter what they say or do sometimes, and with that said I will always love them. Lately we have been able to start up a new company that has brought our family closers than ever. My friends also play a big role in my life because without them...
