Starting tomorrow, i have an addition to my (currently empty) schedule: Physical Therapy. I will be working with a Physical Therapist three times a week. The primary goal is for me to get stronger- my prolonged sickness has resulted in serious muscle weakness to the point where i struggle with daily tasks. Also, we will be looking to regain flexibility as my muscles and neck are extremely stiff and bring discomfort to even regular movement. The secondary aim is to work on my back, which has been fitfully problematic over the years and now (after spending so much of my time supine) has been stiff and at times, debilitatingly painful.
In addition, next week brings another addition to my schedule: A part-time course presented by my department. Unfortunately, being unwell, I am not able to help with the course and instead will just sit in the classes when i can...when Physical Therapy doesn't overlap, or make for too long a day.
I got some test results back and will be seeing the doctor to discuss the findings in about a week and a half. I am looking forward to it, as it brings me a step closer to having my health sorted... and eventually, feeling normal again.
In the meantime i have the Physical Therapy to help me get stronger, and the classes to help me feel semi-normal and somewhat involved. Good additions to my schedule.
