Pt

 PT lessons

The past will reappear. It’s worked a number on my psyche. It’s brought out the mental blocks. If you don't address your past, it will come back. And mentally my brain and I are doing battle. This has been exhausting. I’m learning that strength training is not for the weak. My body experienced fully puddled sweat. I’ve never taken cold showers. I did this morning. My ankles and feet are weak. My PT almost heard me shout expletives today. I almost shouting them now. Epsom salt baths are my friend now. Love you all

  1. Hang in there! The results will be worth it. I hated it strength training at first too but it has great benefits that go beyond gaining muscle like becoming less prone to injury and quicker recovery.

  2. Dearest Regine,
    Well after my fractures, cuts and bruises heal the PT will be another thing for strengthening my ankle, legs and knees...
    Never easy—but we must endure!
    Hugs,

  3. After my serious heart surgery, (not by-passes) I had to come back and it was so slow I didn't think I would make it, but I did. I know you will too.

  14. Oh no. I am sorry you are struggling. I hope the PT pays off. And add a couple of drops of your favorite scent will make your bath even better...

  25. I hope you are feeling better since you wrote this post, Regine. I took a shower this morning, and no hot water. Pilot light is out, and electric co. coming today to re-set it. Say a prayer for me please. It's not always easy living in the mountains; beautiful, but not always easy. : )
