Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Recovery Ward 2008
Hey! Just got back from my first physical therapy session AND (and this is the really important bit today) survived driving down our driveway to the house.

Believe me, I did NOT want to have to walk down the driveway. (But Tom just left to drive the car back up to the road and walk down himself.) It's ice -- with today's rain (and heavy fog) on top of it. And since the temperature is over 50 degrees F., what's under it is most likely turning to MUD. Arghhh!

But the therapy session was really good -- especially the pool part. Besides being 92 degrees F., I think it has higher buoyancy than normal, but I could be mistaken. I was having trouble keeping my tush and legs down so my shoulders would be under water for the exercises. My feet kept wanting to rise off the bottom. (This part of the pool is about 4 feet deep.)

Then, of course, was the land part -- stretching muscles that I was having trouble relaxing. He's pretty gentle, but I've got a cold pack on my shoulder right now and I think I'll bring one along with me on Thursday to use on the 45 minute drive home (chaufferred by Tom).
