While a lot of time has past since my last post and while a lot has changed since my last post, a lot has not. So things are the same...but different. I'm still going to Physical Therapy and I'm still spending about two hours a night there. The difference is that now I'm only going two days a week. This is the first week I've been allowed to have my Saturday mornings back and I'm very excited. I've also been allowed to start running again which is great and I've been getting out on my lunch break at least 3 days a week. Not only is it making me feel better but it's helping me keep my wardrobe.
My routine at PT has been changed a bit and I feel I'm getting stronger every day. Below is my routine as of this week.
