Good Day

Today is Monday, August 7, 2023 and I’m so glad I’m feeling better. Although I’m still not 100%, I’m happy I’m getting my energy and strength back slowly, slowly. The virus I caught last week really threw me off, physically and emotionally…But I know that challenging times only make us stronger.

On today’s agenda, PMR…I arrived for my PT session a little before 10:00 am, the nurse took my vitals and my BP was slightly on the lower side. It’s ok, I was feeling fine so we started with my exercises as planned. My therapist was happy to see me performing better today than I did yesterday…We were taking less breaks, my endurance was higher than yesterday and she was able to add 1-2 extra moves. All the exercises today were targeted towards my lower body. Unfortunately my lower back was still hurting me so she used the ultra-sound machine again today, as well as the deep oscillation machine. We ended the session with some hot compresses on my lower back to loosen the tension in the muscles. That was so relaxing. Next up, OT…We focused on my upper body strengthening. Although it was a quick session today the exercises were pretty tiring. Still, my therapist told me we’ll ease back into it and progressively add to the exercises as the week develops. I left PMR today feeling good and satisfied with my work there. Both my therapist gave me some homework exercises I had to complete which I just did and I must say, today I’m proud of myself…Good job me!
