First, I'd just like to thank everyone for the kind thoughts, vibes, and advice.

I had my first physical therapy appt. yesterday. I've never had physical therapy before, and it turned out to be quite a surprise! I thought that PT was mostly excercise and hard work. I know that much of it still is; but I didn't even get a glimpse of that side of it. It was more like a day at a relaxing spa! Lol!

There was heat applied with ultrasound, a massage, more heat, and electrical stimulation (of the back. Get your minds out of the gutter! Lol!)

I was almost asleep by the time it was over!

The best part is...I think it's working! Today I seem to be walking better. Not perfect by any means, but definitely better!

I did find out that I'm not supposed to be bending at all. Oops! Wish I'd have known sooner!

Anyway, thank you all again for all the well-wishes!

WooHoo!!

That is excellent news. :)

:boogie:

:yahoo: Good to hear things are going well and your doing better. Take care of yourself & get lots of rest. :hug:

Great news :)

Yay! Glad to hear it's going well.

That's wonderful new. I continue to keep you in my prayers.

Hi Miss Tree! :wave:

Nice news in your update. Sending healing vibes & best wishes for you (and your back!).

Glad to hear that it helped!!!

That is good news. That you think it did help you a little bit. And not even having to exercise! :rolleyes:
Hope your back will improve. :)

Glad to hear things are looking better. Remember to drink lots of water. After the massage and heat therapy it is important to hydrate!
