Significant Improvement

I've now had 4 physical therapy sessions by 4 different physical therapists. What the hell?  At my third appointment, I ran into the woman who saw me the first time and instructed me to check with the front desk to make sure that I was on her schedule.  It seems like maybe this should have been arranged before I scheduled my appointments after the first visit.  Annoying...and of course when I checked with the receptionist, she only had one opening all week and it was at a time I couldn't make.

All this said, I liked the woman I saw today, probably because she caused me the most pain.  I know that sounds strange, but I almost took a nap at my last appointment as the dude mainly just gave me a neck and check massage.  If I'm going to go to physical therapy, I want to be pushed, otherwise what is the point?

And, complaints aside, I am seeing great improvement!  I honestly attribute that more to the tongue blade therapy my doctor started me on, though the exercises they gave me at PT were likely helpful as well. I can now open 30 mm.

Also, I saw the cardiologist today for follow-up.  Since my symptoms have greatly improved (I feel light-headed sometimes still, but much less often) and my heart rate and BP are normal, I am done there! I really think it had a lot to do with the weight loss, and expect that I'll be totally back to normal if I gain a little weight.

  1. Hi,
    I know it’s been years since you’ve broken your jaw but I still wish you well. My partner broke her jaw and unfortunately it’s been a year and she isn’t getting better. She needs corrective surgery. So I started a fundraiser I’d like to share with you . Please support LiAnne on this long journey of recovery ahead.
    I've shared a campaign I care about because I think you'll want to support it too.
