in todays soul-news

nothin exciting at all.

unless ya wanna include lookin like this:



- no, not like a man-
like a fool !
with all the gadgets attached to his face-
well, MY face.
i think it's some kind of "level" , like the tool.
to show how off balance you are i guess. :))
i had to ask him (the PT guy)
how can you not laugh at people with this on them?
he said he was used to it-
but i think i couldn't help myself- i would have to laugh -
it looks sooooo stupid-
and yes, i felt very stupid wearin it.

so anyhow--
that was just for a few minutes,
and i had to do the turning and twisting
and gettin mashed on and pressed on
all that painful stuff

then after that i had to do a couple exercises--
neither too strenuous-
but one bein
this :
-except i was sittin on the edge of a bench-
NOT on the floor like that
phew-




and the other one was
this:
like a bike- but usin your hands/arms -
it was actually harder than it looks-
maybe not if you don't have pain-
in your back, neck, shoulders,
and just about everywhere else-
but in that case--
i only lasted two of the three minutes i was supposed to go.
ugh.
can we say wuss?
i was sooo ashamed of myself-
but hey- it hurt-
what was i sposed to do-

so anyhow--- i go 11 more times in the next month or five weeks- or somethin like that--
then they will re-evaluate me-- if it is doin any good they'll decide if i should keep goin for a while-- and if it isn't doin any good- decide if i should continue- or quit. etc etc etc. you know the drill.

good thing about the first visit?? i don't have to pay a dime out of pocket--
woo-hoo ! bout time the damn insurance pays off . they've done nothin but screw me over for the last two or three years--- but somehow-- i guess with my deductible paid, for some reason, i have a certain amount for this type of stuff that i don't have to pay per year.
strange-- but hell, i'll take it-
i expected a high dollar co-pay today.
so i was pleasantly surprised.

and now?
i must go to bed.
i have been tired most of the day, but even when i did try to take a nap earlier--i just laid there and couldn't sleep. dunno why---so i went fishin. but didn't catch anything. dunno why for that either. cuz hubby got two or three. i got bites, just couldn't get the fish. dammit.
so. i'm gonna try to sleep again.

somethin else i failed to do today???? my damned kitchen. i'm gonna set this place on fire if i don't get it done tomorrow. but i will-- i say i WILL-- :)) -- get it done tomorrow.

anyhow--
goo-night y'all

I hope the PT works out for ya. I know there's pain there before ya get to the healing. Have a great weekend love !

I declare therapy folks have some of the darndest contraptions. I hope it gives you some relief and am really, really glad you didn't have to write a check.

Moohaa said...

I sure hope the pt works out for you. It didn't sound too torturous. I am praying that you are dead asleep right now and will wake up at a normal time feeling rejuvenated!

I don't know if you can afford it, but I've thought of having someone come in and help me clean. Is that something that would help with the kitchen and stuff?

Sometime physical therapy IS painful but it does seem to help.And hey you didnt get the kitchen done today but you got the physical therapy done. Thats something. Tomorrow is another day.

Smocha said...

Ok, get up!

I would have laughed at you if I'd been there. LOL
I really think this may actually help you. Got a good feelin' about it:)

Too bad about yer kitchen. I'm disgusted to say that I also accomplished NOTHING yesterday. ACK!
Everyday the pit gets deeper. Today I MUST get this sty clean!!!!

What can we use for motivation here??? hmmmm???

Get up! Love me

SOUL said...

upper body strength
and range of motion

little things to make life better wouldn't ya say?

so i reckon we'll see how it goes.

happy weekend to ya-

SOUL said...

mary mary mary-- i do declare :))
howdy lady--
they really DO have some weird stuff in there--- and me being the way i am, i spend more time crackin jokes about it then actually workin with it--
hopefully that will change - or no one is gonna benefit from this deal. i just can't help myself. :))

oh , yes me too-- i hate to pay for medical stuff.
especially when i need new shoes--
i left mine at the pond last night--a different pond-- i stepped in some extremely smelly gooey nasty mossy mud-- and decided against allowing the shoes to enter my vehicle--so i left them there--
shoeless. :((

happy weekend :))

SOUL said...

hey kel--
ya, it wasn't so bad--just embarrassing.
and, 3 a.m. yup, i was actually sleeping. like a corpse, in fact. and i slept in-- again. til almost 7 i think. the nights i add that extra pill-- phew bouyeeee...
i do sleep.
and sleep.
and sleep. :))
but as for waking rejuvinated-- haha--noway-- hungover is more like it. there's always a give and take in any situation huh. get some sleep--ruin the next day-- don't sleep -- possibly ruin the next day. hmmm.. it's a crap shoot.

i did have a cleaning lady for a little while. went through two actually.
over a period of about two months. or so., i ended up firing the first -- cuz i thought she was stealing from me--- found out later i was wrong. but i made myself feel better by reminding myself that she charged too much--and actually she would change her fee every time she came-- to a higher rate-- so it was ok.
and the second one-- i woulda kept her-- except i would always tip her-- cuz she would deserve it really, but as time went by and i paid her more-- she seemed to slack off more-and not clean as well-- so -- well, aside from that-- i would always clean before the maid came-- both of em..i'm just like that-- even in a motel... but with this one-- my body, and mind-and everything else wasn't faring too well, and she wouldn't call before coming-- and the house got out of hand-- she came every two weeks, and sometimes i'd forget she was coming--- so i let her go-

she didn't do dishes anyhow. neither did the first-- and actually-- i don't think anyone does.

they don't do dishes or laundry--
and ya know what?
THAT is what i need the most help with. :((

well, that and the carpel-tunnel i got answering that comment-- prolly not sayin anything. :))

hope your weekend is a fun one-

SOUL said...

raine-- drops keep fallin on my head-- :))
hi raine---

that's what they say-- but the few times i have gone to PT-i ditched out-cuz it hurt-- so never reaped the benefits.
hopefully i won't whimp out this time. i don't think i will. i need somethin to help me-and this may be it. we shall see-


and ya, i did accomplish a few things- pt, and a couple others- like some bills and stuff..

hope you are havin a good weekend so far--
did you get you some brush hogs???

i think they may have been "root beer glitter gold" dipped in chartreuse "spike it."

getcha some :))
