Progressing...

Had a good session with the physical therapist this morning, a nice chap named Geoff. After filling out all the paperwork, etc., multiple questions and explanations, he did some really nice manipulation (shut up) and got me to relax and trust that he wasn't going to hurt me. Showed me some exercises to do, made some suggestions about how to thin out the scar tissue from the incision, introduced me to the pool where for the first few weeks I'll be spending about a third of our sessions. (No, I am NOT going to buy a swimming suit -- or be seen in one! I've already got a pair of shorts "ruined" by a pool and I'm sure I can find a loose shirt-like thingie to wear that's also expendable.)

First sessions start in two weeks -- I still can't drive and Tom is working for the next two weeks. (Since I'm not bringing in any income, I can't interfere with his two-week gig!)
