somedayseattleIt’s the last week of the year and HalloGivingsMasErapy grinds to a halt.
Halloween has come and gone.
Thanksgiving has done the same.
Christmas was it's usual let down.
Physical therapy has concluded. I was approved for a six month membership to the hospital's gym. I completed all 30 of my PT appointments and now it’s up to me alone to continue down the road of recovery. We haven’t solidified the deets but I think I’ll be doing two or three gym visits a week to build up my leg muscles. There’s also the gym here which I can utilize. I’m a little concerned about motivation because I am pretty lazy. If I have to rely on myself for motivation....who knows?
I was approved for 30 more PT sessions. The plan is to put in some gym time before the next batch begins. Brittany the Therapist suggested the whole six months before we start the next PT. I’m thinking more 3 to 4 months. The biggest hindrance to my success is getting up and doing it.
This week is also the end of my year as a cantankerous sixty year old. Holy shit. Effective Saturday the previous I am now a 61 year old curmudgeon. On New Year’s Eve last year I was happy to see the previous year go. I feel the same today. It’s going to be nice to put 2024 in the rearview mirror. A solid year in the wheelchair. That definitely was not on my bingo card. 52 weeks from now as I wrap up 2025 I’m hoping the phrase 'entire year in a wheelchair' does not apply.
I got to get that shit done in 2025
