PT

My lower back aches and my knees make a crunching sound so I went to the doctor. After X-rays, two specialists and several visits to various medical facilities I was diagnosed with "once you reach 50 your body no longer reacts the same way as it did when you were in your 20's" and prescribed physical therapy. Shocking.

I had my first 2 sessions this week beginning with my back (apparently our insurance only covers one area at a time so I start on the knees in October).

I loved it! All that stretching and moving of muscles that have laid dormant for some time. It was like having my own personal trainer. A warm up on the bike, a little massage, a little workout and a little ice (I think I fell asleep during the ice). It is a slice of heaven.

I wonder if I can stretch this out a little longer? Pun intended. Oh the pain, the pain. It probably wouldn't work. I am smiling my whole hour.

Although, we Roderick's do know drama.
