Tueday July 21, 2009

Today would've been my father's 90th birthday. Hard to imagine him that old since he died shortly after his 73rd birthday.
Tomorrow is the xray guided cortisone shot. Since I can drive myself home, I guess it won’t be terrible! I had PT yesterday and today, today making up for the appointment I managed to miss on Friday. While getting the shot tomorrow, I have to find out how long I have to wait before having PT again. With this information, I'll call the PT place tomorrow afternoon and make more appointments. Next week I'm working SUnday and the following Saturday so they should be easy to schedule.

Tuesday July 14, 2009: Hip PT starts

Happy Bastille Day! I had my PT evaluation today, and it turns out it was with my previous PT guy, but that was only for today. Lots of muscle tightness, which the PT will loosen up and I will be doing some strengthening exercises too. I was also given a set of exercises to do 3 times a day (in addition to the 1X [at least] a day exercises I do for my new knee. Appointments have been made for Thursday and then Monday of next week. The cortisone shot at the hospital has now been scheduled for that Wednesday (no Mobic for at least 5 days prior!!!!) and will make more PT appointments once I find out from the doctor who does the shot how long I have to wait before starting PT again. When in the parking lot, I called Henry to say I was on my way home and he told me CFO called to say I needed a follow up appointment with Dr. Rogell so I went back into the building and made that appointment for August sometime (before our vacation). PT guy also said my new knee is looking good and acting well!
