the_rckI have one remaining PT appointment. That's on the 18th, in the afternoon. The therapist wants to see me to check my alignment. She's of the opinion that a root cause of the problem is that my sacrum keeps pulling to the left. She can't teach me a way to straighten it, so we'll have to hope that the new couch helps. Otherwise, I'm stuck with pain because I only get so many PT visits per year. I can't just keep going in for her to work on things (I'd need to go twice a week, really, and that's too much, too).
My pain levels are down. That's something. The pain just isn't gone, and some days it's sharper and more present than others. I do think that the new couch will help. The days we were out of the house for long periods around Thanksgiving were lower pain than the days I spent mostly at home. I just have to get through to Wednesday.
I'm still doing my assigned PT exercises. I'll be doing them for at least another month, I think. The therapist said that, once I get to thirty repetitions, I should keep going for two more weeks and that I can then stop. I'm at twenty now, and they're hard work. I think thirty is a ways away yet.
