charlotte therapy...

...not so good. It wasn't painful, at all really except for a hamstring ligament on the outside of my leg feeling sore. But it just sucked.

Dear Garner Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic Physical Therapy:
You guys are so much cooler. You rock.
Sorry I had to see someone else Greg. He wasn't worth it lol.
Love, Lisa

Seriously though, it wasn't all bad, it was just awkward. AND I had to redo tons of paperwork. But I did get some new exercises. Straight leg raises all around--on my left side, on my right side and on my back. Then having my knee off the table, face down, and lifting up. Then having my legs dangle off the table and pushing the left one back. And then walking around on crutches with no brace. And then extension exercises with the towel, and quad sets with the towel. So a few new things, but mostly the same. But the guy was awkward, not really sociable or relaxed... he felt like he was at work and like he didn't really want to hold a conversation. So, props to the Garner people. ALSO, I was in a separate room, so props AGAIN to the Garner people for making therapy relaxed, fun, easy, sociable, and approachable.

Basically, I can't wait to get back to Raleigh lol.

Food is working in my stomach better. I'm not feeling nauseous at all, so that's awesome. We're having breakfast for dinner :) Hopefully that will set well on my stomach. And I'm not really in any pain. It's just that damn bottom incision. It really realllllly is sore and tender and sucks with movement and the brace against it.
Otherwise, onward again to being bored and watching HGTV and Food Network ;)
