Physical Therapy

It all begins slowly…

Twist this, bend that, hold this…2 reps of 10, 3 reps of 15, 2 reps of 20, 3 reps of 20…can you push a little harder, reach a little higher, stretch a little more?

We start each session with heat and end with ice…I take Naproxen before sessions and a half a pain pill afterwards…

Why does it still hurt so much? Will I ever be able to sleep right again? Why say I can drive when driving feels like physical therapy? My garden! I miss my garden!! Everything is still so one-handed, so many things I am happy I can do one-handed and yet there are so many things not getting done because they are simply two-handed tasks…sigh, soon…

As an aging horticulturist, I feel it necessary to share the journey I am experiencing with those that may not understand, yet and those that can commiserate with me. I hope to inspire, educate and bring a smile to all who visit my blog.
