So, we're off to PT
Legend has it that Attila the Hun was responsible for the deaths of 10's of thousands....well, I realized through my own research that his great, great, great etc. grand daughter is a physical therapist. Yep, I went to Attila the Hun -ney. If she ever wants to change career's I'm sure she can get work with the World Wrestling Federation - I mean this girl could clean Rowdy Roddy Piper's clock!! We're trying ...okay... no 'we' to it, she's trying to put range of motion back into my knee; who knew you could only get range of motion while being locked in the 'pretzel' hold? She also employed electrical stimulation, well she called it that - I called it a cattle prod. ZZZT...ZZZZT. "Let me know if it gets painful....." I thought the tears running down my cheeks might give THAT away. There were 2 other victim's, er patients tied to the rack in there, sort of a holding room for the Spanish Inquisition.... It has to be done and I'm pretty encouraged by the results so far, though I don't get a follow up visit with the Dr (and hopefully my 'release') till next Tuesday. I did make the 1st appt of the day - 7:00. Think it would be overkill to sleep outside of his house Monday night? I'm behaving, I have to; I've gone from burning around an extra 5,000 calories a week to ZERO. I'm like 'Tigris' in Kung Fu Panda trying to exist off the dew of off plants and absorbing the energy of others; tell that to my stomach. ALso those nights I used to go to bed tired cause I ran X number of miles that day? HELLO 4 A.M. Now I'm up and running around like Ricochet Rabbit - one of the ladies I train I meet at 5:00 a.m....today I was EARLY!!!!!! To TRUSSVILLE!!!!! This ain't right. I bought a voodoo doll...Tiny Dan, and I'm pouring glucosamine and chondroitin on it's knee and offering his knee to all the mommies I see; you know how Mom's are always, "You want me to kiss it and make it well", or "Can I kiss it and make it feel better?" Better the Tiny Dan doll get slapped than me; and hey! If it works.....I'll keep you posted. Back to Attila the Hunney Friday, the Doc on Tuesday...by the way, that's not thunder; that's my d^*# stomach rumbling!!!!


You are much too kind to my profession. What's wrong with Attila the Hunney? She sounds pretty soft to me. Listen, when the doc doesn't tie anything inside back together that might go "snap", then you need to stretch the holy hell out of it - it's for your own good. And for the perverse needs of the therapist too, but a very different level!!
