Physical therapy is testing me in ways I imagined, and in ways I didn’t. I anticipated the physical toil. I didn’t anticipate how much. I’m worn out each and every time. PT is followed by nap time. Endurance is what I need, I just don’t know how long it will take me not to be so exhausted by it. This is not the biggest adjustment.
My mental health is undergoing an overhaul. Gratitude mixes with frustration way too often. Grateful for an opportunity to get better, yet a frustration that my body deteriorated so badly that I don’t know when it will return.
And I started OT today too.
Do what
You do
Even as
I continue
Not to
Understand
The plan
My husband has had PT and OT almost continuously for the past year. Yes, it can be exhausting, especially in the beginning. Hang in there. It will benefit you. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt will get better, just keep at it. Of course, that's easier to say when you aren't the one doing it... :)
