Rehabbing

So the scoop is I have strained the part of the leg where the calf muscle and the heel tendons join together. This means that every time I walk I restrain it. I went to the physical therapist on Friday for a session of ultrasound and a few little exercises. I go back on Monday for another session and then probably one or two more. Julie, the pt, is hopeful that by the end of next week I should be able to start walking on it a little bit. Not 6 miles worth and certainly not running on it but it's a start. In the mean time I have to keep it wrapped during the day for a little added pressure and support and of course ice it at night. I am very bummed about all of it and miss my time outside by myself. Especially now that the weather is so exercise friendly.
Not much to say today. Just not feeling all that perky.

I do have a request though. I have a friend who, for all practical purposes, my sister and I grew up with, is very sick. He is in the hospital in St. Louis and no one knows what is going to happen, all we know is that he is very sick, he has an infection in his heart. His mother, my mother's best friend, flew home from her cruise through the Panama Canal. This cruise wasn't supposed to end for another 10 days or so. This tells me that things are very serious. We are all very worried about him. I ask that whatever your beliefs are, whether you pray, meditate, light candles, whatever, just send some positive vibes for healing toward the St. Louis way.
Thanks.
