Physio-terrorist!!!!!!!!!


So today I had my first physio therapy session with my physio Andre.  He sang to me "me and Mrs Jones"! and then got down to the business of my physiotherapy.  he said to me that there is a hard road ahead as my muscles are very weak and need a lot of strengthening.  I need to strengthen the muscles around my knee cap and also the muscles in my hips are very weak.  i am going to have to commit to doing these exercises every day, to push through the pain,  he has suggested i take my pain killers regularly (4 hourly) instead of when I need them.  This will give me the strength to do the exercises.

I also have another hand therapy appointment and now am the proud owner of a sexy finger brace to try and straighten out my deformed fingers.  She is going to make me a brace for my thumb and wrist to support my hands.

I am finding that my emotional state is getting worse.  I am feeling so bogged down by everything I need to do and all the tablets I need to take.  I am starting to get a little worried about my depression and may need to see the doctor soon.

sorry to be so negative today,  it has been a long day of hospital appointments and I just needed to put it down in writing so I can make some sense of it all.
