Frustrating day today, not only did I foolishly make my physio appointment for 8 a.m. but I had to start with a new girl because the guy I had moved to a different job.
So, starting over, staring fresh, was frustrating to say the least. She didn't like any of the exercises previously given to me and gave me totally different ones. At one point during our conversation during our introduction she actually told me I should stop lifting weights.
Well, if you know me at all that didn't go over very well with me. The last Dr. who told me never squat again was proved very very wrong after I broke the world record a few short months after he told me never squat again.
So today I was looking forward to progressing with bands because the other therapist told me I would be, but not this one, she said I wasn't ready yet. Not something I wanted to hear but she did measure my overhead stretch to 160 degrees so that was better than before as the last time it was measured it was 120 degrees.
Basically I feel like I'm back to square one, spent the day shopping for some rehab tools, 2.5 lb weights and small yoga balls, fun fun.
I've been on a bit of a Pity Train lately, feeling down and blah, having trouble getting motivated, pain could be doing that or still not being able to see the light at the end of this long dark tunnel. Whatever the reason I need to snap the hell out of this funk soon.
Next week I have to start going to physio twice a week, oh goodie ! Some days I just want to close my eyes and wake up when it's over and I'm back to being my strong(her)self again.
