As I sit with my ice pack across my shoulder, I feel encouraged that the pinched nerve drama is entering the final act. As dramas go, it is turning out to be comedy, because there is a happy ending. I’m not going to die and I am keeping all my limbs and their respective functions (insert smiley face) ☺.
What has helped is a stretch. Matt the PT showed me one that stretches the right muscles, restoring the way it ought to be. It is not a “1 and done” proposition, but all I need to do is stretch it every hour or so for ten minutes. I’m working up to that ten minutes.
The other magic aspect of PT wss the appearance of a therapy service dog. She belongs to one of the other patients. Her job is help people chill out, by simply being a sweet and attentive dog. I petted her and she leaned into my legs as if she had known me forever. Just remarkable the difference this dog made.
Animals can be so loving in the purest way. Glad you’re on the mend.
Thanks. Every time I think I’m over the worst, I push too hard. But I feel better.
Good. Definitely err on the side of caution. Don’t want to make it worse.
It takes effort on my part to not overdo it.
Lol. Alright. You know your homework. Less overdoing it. 💋
Yes, Ma’am

You have to take it slowly…. but I understand how difficult it is 😊
Simple stretches. That’s all.
Just remember if you’re only supposed to do 5 don’t do 6…..
Yes Ma’am.
