Mostly the prep visit w os and his np was fine but....the practice hands out strict precautions for 3 months regardless of the approach used. It's freaking me out. And the sheet they gave me says things like I should only sit for short periods and only sit in hard chairs with straight backs and arms. For 3 months? Not going to happen.
It seems like all or nothing. Maybe something like that makes sense for the first week or two (although I don't have any chairs like that in my house) but for 3 months!!!??
Feeling really overwhelmed and upset right now-and confused. This os does an approach that from everything I've read doesn't usually require precautions. And I'm confused by the OS saying he doesn't really believe in precautions but since he's the new guy he's abiding by them and his staff is handing out these sheets.
C'mon everyone--are they important or not? And if they are, 6 weeks seems manageable but 3 months???!!! Is that just cya? (That's the one that really freaked me out as you can no doubt tell--I'll be back at work by then--no way I can maintain strict precautions when I'm out and about in the world and I sure am not staying home for 3 months!) how do I zip up my winter boots if I can't bend down? A grabber won't work. Take the recycling out to the curb? Pick up the cat? I can get help w things like that for a few weeks but not 3 months (I live alone).
