ow ow ow ow

I started physical therapy this morning. Ow.

I am working with an extremely perky sadist named Karen who makes me do all kinds of uncomfy things. She wants me to come 1-2 times a week but even with the copay I can really only afford once. I think that's probably ok, as what I need is mainly guidance on proper exercises and form and a schedule/timetable. I have a tendency to overdo, and because of the half-healed muscles my foot "feels" straight when it's still crooked.

She said I was actually doing pretty well mobilizing it on my own - joked "Well, what do you need me for then?". But I have a couple of new things to work which aren't too awful. It's the "strengthening" parts, which I KNEW was going to be unpleasant.

Clearly I fail at grown-up

Dinner was half a peanut-butter sandwich, a small bag of microwave popcorn, and 5 gingersnaps.
