I had physical therapy on Monday and Wednesday of this week. On Wednesday we took measurements to see if we had made any progress since we started eight weeks ago, NONE!! Our numbers were exactly the same as where we started. I was a bit stunned, as I thought maybe they’d have improved a little bit – no luck. Given that I’ve been either walking or biking 4-5 miles every night, this makes me think that it may not have the potential of improving. The range of motion (ROM for you Laura) is just not there & this is what is needed to get into a shoe/walk normal.
I feel like I’ve given the physical therapy a fair try & now it is time to candidly discuss what to do next. I see the Chicago dr. on Friday, Sept. 5th. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to do as much as I can and am trying not to worry about what is ahead.
I have about 4 more weeks without students and then class groups begin to come for the new year. I’m only 1,500 kids away from meeting my goal of 9,000 for the year … will be glad when I have those last 15 classes signed up.

Happy weekend!

Hugs to you today, Jenny! Hey...the incomplete ROM (thanks for using the abbreviation for me)...or should I say LACK of ROM isn't for lack of TRYING w/ your PT, work-outs, 4-5 mile walks, shoe upon shoe trials...girl, you R-O-C-K! Thinking of you! L Jo
