Subject: PT begins
GREAT PT/OT intake ydy with sports-focus dudes and dudettes. I was thrilled to see a good friend-- our landlords' youngest son-- interning there (he plans a PT college career starting in the fall).

I was welcomed as a fitness colleague who has fallen on hard times (and my recently injured butt), and treatment was planned accordingly. Their therapy pool will be a tad warm-- I'll have to add an icepak to my head to do it-- but they plan to work me ALMOST as hard as I have always worked myself in the pool. They will manage the pace as well as send us off on vacay with exercises paced to continue.

I left them drooling over the water-proofed aquatic notebook full of handouts I use in the water, with the laminated exercise cards. Their aquatic therapist is already familiar with one of the programs I have used and taught, so they prescribed THAT (at my option) for the "yer gonna be purty sore" off days-- not the weight-lifting I had expected, just yet.

Now I just have to get this funded.
