Therapy Does Not Have To Be Boring...

I don't know if I wrote you or not but I somehow hurt my piriformis muscle and nerve.

If you go to your right butt cheek about 2 inches below the (my) pants belt,
deep inside the fatty part, it is where the piriformisa muscle is.

6 weeks ago it started hurting and got so bad I could not walk or ride a bicycle.

I went to the hip dr who sent me to the back dr who sent me to the sciatic dr(same as back).

Who sent me to a physical therapist. Allan knew what was wrong and has been bending me and twisting me since.
Actually he calls it stretching.

Today I finally feel good enough to maybe walk this afternoon.

From sitting and moaning these 6 weeks I gained 2 lbs
but look so flabby I am embarrassed.

My legs are starting to firm up. and even my butt. I never thought I would have any tone or muscles in my butt cheek again but sure enough they have returned.

I started stretching at home and even did sit ups. Yes, 10 last night...

I lifted weights at brooks park and hit the heavy bag last night.

I hope to start a little jogging and dribbling the bball at the gym.

Today I was on the treadmill which I usually only do 8 MINUTES.

The machine was near the window and I couldn't help but look out.

I saw a window washer and that kept me going for 12 MINUTES.

It was so interesting watching the window washer.
A good distraction from the boring treadmill.

Even my trainer found it interesting. Then some of the other patients.
It take talent to do a good job.
And let me tell you, this window washer had talent.

I took a photo and the windows were so clean.

After Therapy, some other old men and the therapist suggest I drive over
to the window washer and explain how we found the job so interesting.

So I did and said thank you for the distraction. We both turned toward the
therapy windows and waved.

c'ya
