I started a type physical therapy. I had just had a belly-full of the second rate therapists I had seen for so long and was determined to do it all myself. Progress was slow, but still it was progress.
After crashing clown bike early this spring I had quite a set back. Due to my inability to be able to make any more progress beyond where I am and having two people tell me I needed to go see this guy they knew, I am now seeing him. The two people who recommended him were Vivian and Julie(from my meet up group). They have not even met each other and the guy has a great reputation. I can tell you. He is moving things. His name is Scott, he is the proprietor of. AA Health in myrtle Beach, SC. If curious you can google it.
Got a hewlett Packard android tablet. Should have got one long ago. I just never realized how much better they were for my purposes than the laptop. Now I need to figure out where I can download charts from. Lance? I remember you did this,any thoughts?
Going sailing again tomorrow in Charleston. All about that in the last post. Possibly going to work soon. Has been a trial attempting to get myself healthy enough to return to work. Will share more later but this really is a self esteem issue. I need to know I can do anything I want. Being unable to work is also a pretty good indicator of my ability to function, with any task, because it all hinges on my physical abilities.
Scott thinks he can get me back to 90% of where I was before the injury. I am not sure if I can explain all of this correctly. His methods are a conglomeration of the techniques he has studied. I forget if it was a medical board that has studied his techniques and deemed it a new way of doing things. He is writing a book on it.
So there you have it. The only thing I did not share is a sickness in my immediate family. I am quite concerned for my younger brother. It is quite serious. 'Nuf said.
So my last year in myrtle Beach goes on. I have 600 Christmas lights up in the courtyard already. I know, kind of early, Vivian will not let me put up the 7ft. tall blow up Santa until after thanksgiving.......see!!! I need a job!
I will end up with over 2000 lights when done.
Figured out how to get pictures. Last picture. You know Vivian is a vegetarian? She eats cheese and seafood but otherwise, no meat. When I say we are working on our diet, I don't mean we are ON a diet. We are experimenting with healthier eating. We are looking over the Ayurvedic(India) diet.
You know me! Get a book and look it over. Looks like a lot of rice and vegetables. Also looks like different foods for different body types. My theory is this. Try all kinds of different ways of doing things. When you find what works, adopt it as a lifestyle.
I had to come back and edit this. Saturday morning the therapist really moved some things that had not been moved in a while. The rest of the weekend I was pretty tender. This morning(Monday) I could tell that a small improvement was made. Not much.....but noticeable. I am quite optimistic. It also looks like I will finish up the winter working. I will share more later. No sense counting chickens before they hatch.
