1st day of therapy
Anyone have any pointers on getting this to work better? I have to write posts 3-4 times before they actually publish!
Anyway today was the long awaited first day of rehab- seeming to have a hard time getting appointments that work with my schedule 
It was interesting seeing the difference in ROM and measurements between my two ankles- Ultrasound to help with swelling and break up scar tissue, walked in two shoes to therapy room, recumbent stepper machine for 10 min, baps board, then e-stim/ice.
Makes me feel good that my therapist was a Track athlete as well, and her husband is a Physical Education teacher as well- so she understands how demanding my job is- and that my job has more physical demands than some others. She said what I already knew- that my road to recovery will be long, and blatantly stated that ATR rehab sucks!
Keep plugging away, mhamay!
The only trick I have when posts or comments won’t “stick” is to enter them into a separate program or page — wordprocessor, email client, notepad, wordpad, whatever — and then Copy & Paste them into the spot on this site. If it doesn’t work the first time, at least you haven’t lost the message you’ve written.
The other interesting thing is that she said I have way above average ROM in my good ankle- which means we will have even more work to get the other ankle to that level.
