Do What???? Mood
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | A General Update story
This is funny and frustrating. Finally got a hold of PT personyesterday. Told her what has resulted from do as she said with standing every two hours as long as possible. I reminded her that I am to be non-weightbearing. So here is the new "exercise" that I am to do until next month!!! Every two hours (sound familiar??) I am to go to kitchen counter in my chair and stand up at least 5 times!!!! In one week I am to do it every hour for at 10 times each hour!!! Guess they do not know what non weightbearing means!!! I think I have figured out their problem. I am pretty sure they are sharing one brain cell among them and who ever is off work that day has the brain cell.

    Please my friend do not be a "good patient" this time. You know what this will do to your body. Can you call your doctor and talk about the kind of instruction the PT needs? I'm not sure they even hava a whole brain cell they're sharing. :)

    Sounds like this PT needs to find another ocupation!!!! If the doctor said not to put any weight on your feet and legs then don't do it. I remember when I was having PT after a very serious shoulder surgery. The exersize was called ball to wall which reqired me to lift a beach ball above my head and touch the ball to the wall backwards over my head. Well I did it and when I did something in my shoulder went POP and hurt like the dickens. I lucked out and eventualy got over ot but I think something in there did pop loose again. Needless to say I did no more ball to wall. Sandy is telling you the truth about telling your doctor about your experience. I really care about you! Just be careful OK?
