Anyway, he says I am much worse off then I was when they last saw me. Good to hear, huh? LOL

He asked me why they haven't addressed my neck problems. As I told him, we take things in the order of which is the worst. He thinks my neck is one of my worst problems. He also says I am standing crooked now, to the right. He stretched my neck to deal with the TOS and other issues. I go back Wed. He says my back is worse, knew that.

As I told him, I know I overdo but when you live by yourself and have to do for yourself then you have no choice. I never sit still. He says I am a walking miracle. As I told him, he's the 3rd to tell me that. I know I am but I get frustrated because I can't get farther along in getting well. I know I will always have some of these issues but I do want to get better to a point.

I still need at least 3 more surgeries and not sure if that will end it.

Anyway just venting. I am so tired from the therapy. He did give me some exercise for my neck to do. Miminal exercise. I love these two. They are the best in PT and the best of people.

Thanks for listening. I'm going to my Dr. next today.

I know a lot of you feel frustrated also, I can so relate.

Ada,
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers also. I'm glad you have such great PT's, that's a blessing for sure. My heart goes out to you, and to everyone else who deals with this monster every day. You are a strong woman, things will get better.. one day at a time.
