Physical Therapy Coversations
I'm starting week 4 of physical therapy then I can say "This hasn't helped one damned bit" and can get that contrast dye MRI, the catch all of all freaky MRI's. I really like my PT, he's very knowledgeable, got employee of the year in 2010 at the hospital where he works and is an avid marathoner. And I've said he's damned cute, right? He's damned cute. The other guy I see is not a runner but shazammmm, he's a martial artist into Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Judo and Tai Chi. Also, big MMA fan.
So with both, I have plenty to talk about while I'm getting stretched like a pretzel and other things.
Sometimes when I'm nervous, I tend to babble a lot.
I mentioned other things above. So when one has a groin injury, one has to take one's knickers and skivvies off to get one's ultrasound therapy and for massages. I did mention it's a groin injury, right? It's a total groin injury.
I have to remind myself these guys are getting paid but, um, it's frickin' awesome yet awkward and I can't stop babbling like a damned brook through these sessions. Maybe I can just drink iced coffee through these things?
Here's a fun exercise video from Korean Mommy Says. This reminds me of my Tita. Sounds JUST LIKE HER. And she's typically Asian skinny and still pinches my love handles and likes to say my boobs are fat boobs, not real boobs because they go away when I lose weight. I'm giving myself Asian girl PTSD. ARGH!

Sounds like a great time... no really... er...
I have fake boobs too - not real boobs. They'll go away when I quit using them to feed tiny human.
Nothing makes me crazy like having other people work on my body and tell me what I ought to be doing. I'm probably going to cancel my gym membership tomorrow... I'm using Tiny for weight lifting and am going to start going for walks with the heavy stroller to get my legs and back back together. Husband doesn't like the idea of anyone taking care of her while I go to the gym and he doesn't really have time so I'll just find ways to work out with her I guess. This period of time is so short it's not worth dickering over it...
Get well soon. Sounds like a really irritating injury...
OMGosh! i love your aunt tita, um, mommy! i swiped and put on my facebook, because when i d my after-long-run videos, i wear my visor too! visor schtick! "fat boobs" gave me a good lol. thanky.
I had one bout of PT in my life (for a frozen shoulder) & found that it was mostly "pain & torture". When my other shoulder froze in turn, I didn't bother to go back - I knew the exercises I had to do.
The video is fun - a peek inside a different mommy culture.
@oceanstarr - Just trying to avoid surgery if I can!! I'll find out in about 10 days. Ugh.
@buyit - There needs to be German Mommy Says. I have issues with that one because the German moms I've met are lovely. Okay, Christoph is saying she's technically Dutch so it doesn't count.
@scifiknitter - Nagging is all encompassing. And by golly, it's my entitlement as a mom! I've kind of been slacking on it.
Yes, I would probably feel awkward, too. Hope your groin injury gets better, soon !!!
