8.14.17 Alanna

Larry wasn’t there when it was my time  at ATI so Alanna spotted me from behind for my stands. We did the stands first thing. My first two downs  were really strong and my third and fourth down weren’t that good. I tired out  easily.   I could feel my legs start to tighten up and I laid back on the table.

Brad bend my right knee.   He bent it  like this before and measured it at 113°. Today wasn’t as good but it felt good and  I really felt the stretch. He stretched my left leg out the same way  as well. Then he put my thigh on his shoulder and stretched my thigh toward my chest.

This stretch was stretching my hip out. He measured it before at 102° and this wasn’t that good but again, it felt really good!  He also stretched my left leg out. I lifted my right foot up and then did a lot better job with my left foot. I moved my right leg out and pushed it in and did the same with my left leg, only better.

Alana came over and set me up with ice and stim. I laid back, closed my eyes, and enjoyed the ice.  It’s frustrating that I tire out so easily and my right leg has become so weak. I can’t wait to get back to Barwis so I can start to work on that again.   I say that as if it is going to be easy once I go back there because I know it is not going to be; but, I miss it so much! Next week is Alanna’s last week at ATI.   She is in  physical therapy school at Wayne State.
