Two days in a row a physical therapy was not a good decision! The clinic is closed on Friday afternoons and Nina is up at the Idaho Falls Temple on Friday morning, so we made appointments for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. Yesterday’s was a major workout and twenty hours later I was back for more. However, at the end the measurements said 108 degrees of bend in the left leg and 106 degrees in the right. 120 is the magic number and anything over that is a bonus. I can get there!
After discussions with my doctor’s nurse, with the nurse at CIGNA (who administer the short-term disability program), and with the nurse at work (who has to agree that I’m fit to come back to work), they all decided that I could return to work part time (no more than three hours a day) starting next Tuesday. That would be re-evaluated on the 16th as to whether or not I can go back full time.
This weekend we’ll try driving to see whether or not that will work. If not, I’ll need to be driven up to work and back and that’s a burden I don’t want to put on Nina if at all possible to do otherwise.
Each day is showing measurable improvement. In a year I should be pretty much back to 100%.
Ta ta for now!
Yeah!
