PT / Gym Rat

I have been working hard on getting my body back to normal.  Its a strange story and docs look at me like I'm crazy, but here it is.  I hurt my right leg kicking off covers in a panic when I got a Charlie Horse in my left leg.  It happened in April 2024 and I've been struggling to know what exercise will "fix it".

My current PT is Jeff and he's fantastic.  With specific stretches and exercise, things are getting better ..... slowly.  

In a kudos to me, I have been able to work my way up from 10 minutes on the treadmill to 30 minutes!  And now, I reach a mile before my 30 minutes are up!!  For me, that's fantastic.  I have spent the last 8+ months being moms "companion". She likes someone to sit and watch tv. Ugh. (I feel I'm too young to act like I'm 87 every day!)

So I'm... forcing myself to get on my treadmill daily, I see my PT twice a week, and every day I do all the stretches he puts into my app (well, almost every day!)

For my progress,  a great big kudos to me!!!

At the same time, I am currently feeling at odds. My nephew wants me to watch his son dir 3 days because his job is now 2p-midnite.  But that schedule doesn't sync with my own, and now what???  I want to help when I can but should I put his needs over moms? And mine?  Tough situations vs tougher conversations 

Its always something!
