I had to change my ATI appointment from Thursday to Friday because I had Sean’s parent-teacher conferences on Thursday. So Friday at ATI, I had Greg. He was in a T-shirt and jeans. I had never seen him and jeans before and he told me it was because it was PT month, it was casual Friday. He had an ATI T-shirt on. I didn’t know that October was physical therapy month! My knee hurt, as always, and Greg started with ultrasound.
After the ultrasound, he rubbed my knee a little bit and then grabbed my ankle and pulled to alleviate pressure in my knee. After he did this, he shook my leg a little bit. That really felt good! I told him that I like the shake and he sang a little of the KC and the Sunshine Band song and danced a little bit while we both laughed!
After that, who grabbed a bolster and stretched my leg out simulating the leg lifts but I didn’t have to work. I really appreciated that because my knee hurt and I was tired. He hooked me up with ice and stim. My mom and I had a great conversation with Emily (the new physical therapist). Well, it WAS Great until I learned that she went to MSU. I told her that I thought I liked her but now… we all left and she told me that she was dating a good guy who went to UofM. I told her that is WHY he was a good guy.
Greg came back out when the stim. was finished and taped my knee. When he was finished, he looked at his tape job and told me that I look like I have the Red Hot Chili Peppers symbol on my knee. He held my ankle up so I could see it as I laid there flat. I agreed with him!
