Done with PT

I had (I hope) my last PT session this afternoon. I will keep doing stretches for the left hand and right shoulder, and even some icing and massage, along with my strengthening exercises, but the therapist and I don't think I will need to go back to see him. He encouraged me to call or email if something bothers me or I want advice; if I don't, they will call me to check in in four to eight weeks.

I've been seeing the therapist for longer than I originally expected, because while I started going for shoulder stuff, I then had some wrist pain, and hurt my ankle. My session two weeks ago was mostly about ankle and balance stuff; this time it was shoulder strengthening, wrist examination, and Ian asking how my balance was doing, and me showing that it's pretty good. (I don't think the intern I'd been working with entirely understood that I have been doing some balance stuff for literally years.)

That's a lovely feeling, and I hope all your bits stay in their new orbits.

Hurray for being done! Your gym work does pay off, doesn't it?
