How's your Balance?? No problem-o!

Here I am showing my favorite orthopedic doctor exactly how well I have recovered...and perfected my balance!! Ha-ha.

We discussed the physical therapy that I've been attending twice a week, and I was explaining the 4-5 machines that I've used...stationary bike, balance programs, etc.

"Let me see you walk."

The silly side of me wanted to walk the catwalk, but I would have felt pretty stupid if I fell in the process! My walking is progressing nicely, and now the shift will be from balance to a more confident walking gait. When I volunteered at the hospital on Monday, the first thing I noticed was the newly waxed floors. It didn't take me long for my crocs to hit a non existent speed bump propelling me forward a bit. I thought that if I was going to have a heart attack, the best place would be in a hospital. And so, for the rest of the day, I was walking like Grandma Moses.

So, the good doc shared that I needed to regain my confidence back, and get rid of the 'post traumatic stress' ....what?? from the whole fall, broken femur, and all of the stress that went along with getting back on my feet. I have to get past the fear of falling every time I get up and go.

My perspective of PTSD was pretty much in relation to the military when they return from war, and stressful situations.

Well, currently I am PTSD...Pretty Tired...[and wanting to] Sleep Deep.

Tomorrow's another day! TTFN
