Almost 9 weeks after I fell off a snowmobile I FINALLY went for my first rotator cuff PT appointment.
Reporting to PT
I’m embarrassed to say that the knee rehab took precedence because I need my knee to run and I need to run to stay sane right?! The therapist said I don’t have frozen shoulder so that’s good. He said that the pain is lingering mainly because my surrounding muscles are picking up the slack a whole lot. They are fatigued to the max! He did a full evaluation of my current range of motion and made me fill out this silly questionnaire to determine how my daily life has been limited. The scale was from 1-6…1 for no difficulty and 6 for severe difficulty.
I got a chuckle over some of the questions. #17! Card playing and knitting! LOL! And #21!!! OMG embarrasing.
He had me do some stretches and exercises for a bit and that was it for my first appointment. I’ll be going back next Thursday but in the meantime I’m going to do the stretches and exercises at home. I need to find a pulley I can hang from a door. I’m looking at a long road ahead of me for this rotator cuff rehab.
In other news I love when they plant all the pretty spring flowers in the big flower pots around Herald Square by my office.
I also got a run in today.
pseudo long run
40 degrees and dreary. Come on Spring! Where are you?
It was rough to find the time because I had so many deadlines for work so I had to compromise with 8.25 miles even though I wanted to hit 10ish as my long run for the week (I’m going on a little vacation this weekend and didn’t want to do a long run while I’m away). Next weekend is my last long run before the marathon!
Well, I better go pack for my trip. I’m off to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC.
Well, I’m glad to see that #21 scored on 1 on your 1-6 scale! haha
The kiddo and I are volunteering at a 5k this weekend. She was so relieved when I told her we were volunteering and not running it! I keep hope alive that one of these days she’ll learn to love running too. Any.day.now.
I love those flowers! My favorite flower is probably a rose which is ironic, because we can’t really grow roses where I live, but I just love all the different colors. We’re just hanging around the house, cleaning, and relaxing this weekend.
Hooray for PT! I appreciate knowing that you’re going through PT and dealing with shoulder issues so I don’t feel alone in this! Is that weird? I hope that your recovery proceeds smoothly. And I didn’t realize that you’re in NYC too!
