Ok, so, I did not do so well on the PT exercises from last week. You see, I’ve got all these great excuses, like papers to grade that are still not graded, but they make me feel bad. Then, there was the Gala on Friday with free wine – boy Friday and Saturday were out after that. Sunday and Monday, I did do my exercises, and I found that the green band was really easy.
So, when I told Travis that I needed the blue band on Tuesday, I was hoping that he thought that I had done my exercises everyday (Oh no, he might read this! – ah well, I’ll just do better this week!).
Speaking of Travis reading this, he showed me how the podiatrist finds “neutral” or subtalar neutral on a foot! He is so fantastic. I told him that I did not remember my doctors doing that to my feet to find subtalar neutral, but I do believe I was incorrect. Upon further examination of my memories, each foot doctor did find subtalar neutral on my foot. I am still wondering if I was able to hold said “neutral”, but I have already been there and talked about that. Back to my story. (I do plan on adding some information on the technical aspects of some of this information.)
I had my second ASTYMâ„¢ treatment, which should be my last. My posterior tibial band still is a little inflamed this evening, but I did complete my exercises with my blue band! I also got one new exercise that is just dragging my left foot toward my right foot, while sitting, and then lifting the left foot off the ground instep up. It is surprisingly tiring.
That is truly all for now. I am still walking or riding my bike to work while wearing either my super stiff running shoes with orthotics or my Dansko’sâ„¢. I am also continuing to ride the stationary bike at the gym. I hate the stationary bike – almost as much as I hate the treadmill. I know I’m not supposed to “hate” something, but I just want to run barefoot! Not ride a stupid bike!
