I went to my first PT visit this past week.  It was just an evaluation but it was good.  I like my PT.  He’s funny.  He’s got this sarcastic humor which was quite amusing and I really enjoyed.  It’s funny because some people could get quite offended with sarcasm.  Some of the things he said, some people might really be offended or just think he was plain out rude.  But I thought it was funny.  :)

He actually seemed like he knew what he was doing.  He did a lot more than the doctor did.  He like pushed and pulled my knee and ankle in all different directions to find when the pain occurs.  He told me I could only do the stationary bike and like 2 stretches.  So I’ve been doing those.  I hope I get fixed really soon.

I think I’m actually getting a better just from so much inactivity and maybe some of my previous PT exercises even though he advised me to not do any of those exercises.  I sort of played basketball today which is a pretty bad idea because I know that it’s very difficult to stop myself from playing.  Well, the pain would make me stop but my knee didn’t bother me too much – although it’s not like I really ran around that much.  I moved pretty slowly.  But my ankle, man that thing hurts and bothers me.  The PT actually said that what probably happened was that I hurt my ankle first and then because when I run, I want to get off the foot quickly, I end up pounding on my left knee.  Go figure.  The whole body just breaks altogether.

My next sesh is next week.  Hopefully he’ll give me more exercises and get me moving along!
