The roll-down door was completely open so Mike came over and pulled my feet out of the car (he’s faster) and he sent Joe over to continue to help me. After my feet were out of the car, I usually can do everything myself but I talked with Joe as I did this. Joe is a new intern and I told him that I have met MANY interns but I am still NOT walking. I told him that hopefully he will see me walk. Mike pushed me in to the chairs when I was all ready. When it was my time, Mike came over and got me. He pushed me over to the blue table and put me on it. I sat as he kneaded my calves and knuckled my thighs a little bit.
Just after he did that, he asked me what PNF stood for. Proprioreceptive Neuromuscular Facuilitation. I told him that I am NOT going to forget! As if I could forget?! It is an important step in getting me up and walking which I have said all along that that is my goal. He had me lay back and began stretching me. I asked him if I am progressing. He told me that if by progressing I mean that the stretch is easier than I am. The stretches he does feel A LOT better in terms of them not hurting as much. I feel that my body is starting to limber up nicely.
He put me back in my chair. Dan had mostly closed the roll-down door but I was JUST able to limbo under it as Mike pushed me and let go of my chair. He put me in my car and my body felt relaxed and I slept well. I woke up Tuesday morning with my lower body NOT hurting but I felt that I had done work. It felt like your body feels after a workout before the pain sets in. My body felt happy and warm and that is such a good feeling!!!
