it's been exactly 2 months since i fell and apparently i have a ways to go.
went to PT this morning thinking it would be my last appointment. i was wrong. according to my physical therapist certain muscles have been compensating for the ones that shut down when i fell and hurt my back, which is why i ache in places i shouldn't (i.e. my hip flexor hurts when i run when my butt is suppose to be sore). to rebuild the muscles that shut down from the fall, i have to do more core strength training. told him i was doing all his prescribed exercises twice daily along w/running on a treadmill, but he says that's not enough if i want to be back to normal by summer.
WHAT?! summer? OMG...
his solution: intense strength training everyday going forward. according to him i'm "teetering on the edge" of normalcy vs. continued pain. i think he's looking to see abs of steal at our next appt in 2 wks.
my solution: chocolate truffles and strawberries in sweatpants on the couch while i blog looking for mass sympathy. bring it.

hang on, you're doing what he said you should do, twice daily, and it's still not working ?????
errm.... have you considered getting a second opinion ? cos i'm not sure transforming into super-jaimie (i know, it kind of shows how old i am) will prevent any kind of pains....
lol! you're hilarious! maybe if i do transform i could get my own TV show and superhero outfit!
thank you for the well wishes! hv thot about getting a 2nd opinion, but he's probably right on the strength training. will be sure to show off my abs of steel the next time i see you :)
oh yeah, i want a superhero outfit, too !!! i have a vision in pink and white lycra, with a cape maybe.... mmh oh hum....
