Sheesh.<br /><br />My goal has NOT been met at all and that too was water. Today I was not prepared properly and only had to big glasses all day until I got home -- at 5:30 -- and after spending $1660 on my car! At that point, water was not my beverage of choice, but that wasn't a true option either. My calves and ankles are really feeling it too. =o(<br /><br />My last dressing down was at the courthouse with Mr. Attorney Tighty-Pants. teh heh heh....dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-20148233351521205192017-02-16T15:37:42.306-05:002017-02-16T15:37:42.306-05:00Yes they certainly do as all three PT's there ...Yes they certainly do as all three PT's there have very different approaches to the patients ranging from supportive yet tough to completely apathetic. This guy is kind of a gym rat and if you don't agree with his view on ANYTHING, he gets very irritating and tries to sway you to his POV. He's a good enough therapist but you need to do more than just give exercises. If the Mr was paddle boarding before, the answer isn't 'never paddleboard again' and if that's HIS answer, it's the wrong one.<br /><br />I'll try the paper plates on the rug up here since they didn't slide so great for me downstairs.

I knew I couldn't work with that guy and DEFINITELY not with the other lady. Unfortunately my girl wasn't accepting new patients when the Mr went in and this guy is just kind of ridiculous with pushing his OWN agenda. If my talk didn't set him straight, the Mr has promised to make it clear that his goals need to be his (PT's) goals as well.

I think if you compare that my PT said her job is to get me back to previous activities and that was the whole reason you drive across town and if that's not his objective then maybe you'll take your exercises and go home, it should shut him up.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-64518962074793188132017-02-16T08:47:29.886-05:002017-02-16T08:47:29.886-05:00Physical therapists come in different levels/viewp...Physical therapists come in different levels/viewpoints. There are those who only think of getting on and off the toilet and in and out if the car as client goals. And there are those who work with athlete clients. Not all are created the same. <br /><br />Paper plates work great as sliders.

It surprises me that a physical therapist would have that attitude. They spent their days helping people recover from injuries so they can get back to their regular lives - whether it's helping a 90 year old lady come back from a fall so she can stay in her own home, or helping you guys paddle board and snow shoe/cross country ski. I bet he has boring hobbies if he has that attitude.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-39674727895637260552017-02-16T07:45:04.650-05:002017-02-16T07:45:04.650-05:00I appreciate you standing up for me and my love of...I appreciate you standing up for me and my love of paddleboarding! I took him as a bit of a joker about it but now I see I am going to have to make it clear that his job is to help me get back to what I love doing and not have this attitude of staying away from things that I might get injured doing. I could hurt my shoulder doing grocery shopping and just about any other daily task. Doesn't mean I stop doing things I want and need to do!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
