As described in my older posts, I have really struggled with the physical therapy portion of my recovery and the painful part of regaining ROM. Since my 'grand epiphany' 3-4 weeks ago, I have pretty much stopped stressing over my ROM and gone about my 'normal activities'. Back to work and doing whatever the rest of my bunch were doing. I stopped trying to bend and push and being stressed about it. I had decided that I would accept what I have and live with it. Last night, just kinda for the heck of it, I checked my ROM and found that since my last therapy session, March 3rd, I have gained close to 15*. I was really surprized and pleased as I had expected some improvement with time, but not that much or that soon.
Now, please understand, I am definately not saying everyone should stop therapy, but I am saying that therapy is not the end of our road. I may very well be an anomaly, I have been told that 'I aint like most folks', but we all get so consumed with how much 'progress' we make or don't make in therapy and I think we should understand that life goes on after therapy is done. If my increase is a gift, I happily and thankfully accept it; because I had reached 'my limit'. God blesses us in so many ways that we don't even notice at the time and we get so fixated on 'right now, today, this minute' that we sometimes miss His blessings.
I just wanted to share this 'good news' with all of you who have helped me through my struggles in 'darker days'. Thanks, I apologize for the long post, and God Bless you all.
