PT was about balance and stretching. Working on the rocking balance board was the first time I felt the burning stretch in my left calf and thigh. The surgery definitely tightened up some muscles I hadn't really felt until now. I want to be back to "normal"! I want the swelling to go away, I want more nerves to come back. I want to be able to stand up from a chair without having to use my hands. I want to not have to think before I walk up or down stairs. I want to stop being worried that I don't have the strength to take assignments. I want to be able to wear something other then flats.
Time to stop whining. I have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, and despite periodically needing to fight with them - health insurance. I am better off then a lot of people.
