Live from PT!  (Almost)

Today was my third PT session with Casey, who may be my favorite therapist of all time.  (His sense of humor meshes with mine very nicely, and he really pushes you to your limit.)  The first two sessions didn’t get a blog entry because there was nothing too special about them.  They were mainly centered around mat exercises, strengthening and loosening up muscles that hadn’t seen a lot of use recently.  Today; however, was different…

Today, I walked thirty feet!  Whooooo!!  Granted, during in-patient PT, I was walking around a hundred and twenty-five feet at a time, and today was around ten feet at a time, but this is a HUGE first step.  To be on only our third session and have this kind of progress is excellent!  Casey expects me to be able to take my walker home as early as next week at this time to practice walking on my own!

So, progress is being made, folks.  I’m exhausted, I’m sore, but I’m happy as a clam because I’m moving forward.  :)  Keep checking back, folks.
