Day 1
Well its kinda like day 2 but the first day was basic lean left lean right rotate and twist. Who knew physiotherapy could hurt. Well let me tell you, it can hurt. There are a whole heap of muscles that I either forgot about or never knew I had to begin with. Fortunately it ended with a lovely machine that sends electrical current in to your back and makes you want to fall asleep… ahhhhhh niiiice.
So yes, physiotherapy has officially started, and they are very optimistic that I can help my body replenish its stock of good muscle. This is not an overnight process and it will take a tremendous amount of dedication. They mentioned that I may be able to go snowboarding again… ride a bike with the kids… play soccer with them… I’m dedicated!!!
It has been a hard week though. I did my CK test last Friday and so far no news is good news… well kinda. I’m in a crazy amount of pain. Muscles are cramping, joints aching, and really tired. If there is no elevation in the CK we really do have a new problem. The Mikey does not like new problems, in fact, the Mikey hates new problems.
I’m focused… eye on the prize.
So Friday is day 2, and they should finish the evaluation part of the process. They have mentioned numerous times that they are being careful not to push my body past the “zone”, but dammmmmm, if today was not past the zone, be afraid the Mikey, be very afraid.
So drugs and sleep for now, I will let you know about the CK as soon as I hear back.
PS, was it just me or did that French guy refer to Quebec as a separate country again???

Good for you! Physio is just working out by another name...and it is just as strenuous and tiring.
Good on you for getting through it.
Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Yes, the stupid moron in the pond is again whipping up separatist talk. If it wouldn't cost me more to get my bagels and smoked meet and, er, alternate entertainment, I would say the hell with them, let them go.
My Canada includes Quebec though so him and his ilk must be gone for good! there is already a free French country. It's called France. Feel free to move there permanently.
