A year ago April, a crazy thing happened. I was sleeping snug under my covers when I got a Charlie Horse in my calf. And I know the best thing is to get on my feet and work through it. So I attempted to kick off covers with my right leg, I had to kick hard, twice.
Working off the pain, I got ready for work and headed in. But an hour into my shift, I headed home. I couldn't stand on my right leg. And so began my downfall and ultimately retiring.
I thought for sure it was pulled muscles and would heal in time. But whatever I am doing isn't helping enough. I used to get 10K steps easy, and now 5K is a stretch. So I got a note from my doc and started PT yesterday.
I was stiff and sore when I woke up this morning, but moved around and worked through it. We shall see if Jeff has better suggestions to get me back in shape!! When I told him a year ago I walked like I was a question mark, unable to straighten up without pain, he seemed surprised! As with every PT, he gave me "homework". Hehehehe
