Water Aerobics, Here I Come
Apr. 12th, 2007 08:55 pmPer the threat of the PT that she'd send me for a cortisone shot (ugh) if I didn't improve, I'm off arm intensive exercises for the next week or so, including biking down the pothole-laden streets of Oakland and Berkeley. I think allowable exercises are down to walking, stationary bike, and water aerobics. Yeehaw.
However, I did meet more mylastnames in the PT's office on Monday--a young woman who's just had knee surgery and her dad. She signed in right after me, and we are seeing the same PT. Our handwriting is also fairly similar, which was a little eerie. We compared surgery scars (mine have healed nicely, so I recommended the vitamin e rubbing to her) and chatted briefly. We could be distantly related: their relatives are from Ohio most recently, but my father's dad (Irish Catholic) got disowned by his family when he married my grandmother (Irish Protestant), so knowledge about that side of the family is spotty at best. So very hateful and dumb: I remember my grandmother telling me that the family's priest had told my grandfather his kids would be bastards.
