June 26 - Progress, of a sort.

No working out, today, just some gentle stretching--I woke up totally flared. But I did make some progress, in that I finally called the PT department about a consult for my shoulder. If I can get this thing working, again, there will be a lot more I can do that will help me fitness-wise. Feel the fear and do it anyway! I will not let my fear of PT keep me from getting well and getting fitter.

Go you! It is awesome that you are even stretching, but the fact that you took initiative and called the PT department - you should be very proud of yourself!

Thank you--I am both proud and frightened. :) I'm going to ask for a female therapist, and maybe that will help. Stretches always feel good, but now I'm trying to include a little isometric strength movement with them (which can be tough without someone correcting my movements so I hope I'm not doing them wrong.) I figure, if this is my life, and if pain is going to be a constant, I can still do what I can do in that day, right? And it'll make my doctor happy, too, which is good because she's nice (and also knows what she's talking about.)
