Met calorie goal. PT 45 minutes.
Yesterday was my surgery...fistulaplasty and a stent put in my arm. Had dialysis this morning and then PT this afternoon.
Took it relatively easy at PT. They gave me some tests to reevaluate my progress since before Christmas. I actually did better on a couple, which I think is because I've been decent about doing my stretches at home. After the progress report, we did some of the same exercises I do in floor work. She had me do 3 sets of 10 (I do 5 sets at home). Easy, right? Then she had me do a couple of things I've never done before...and I struggled to do 3 sets of 10. Hey, I'm glad to learn something new that will make me stronger. After that, we did hip extension and abduction WITHOUT bands, 3 sets of 10. Finally, the lateral walk without bands.
Although I learned a couple of new, TOUGH things, I'm really glad I've kept up the level of work I've been doing with my stretches at home. I don't think she would have introduced new things otherwise.
All of these exercises did NOT use my arm, which actually feels worse today. I have pictures of my arm with and without the stent, showing the fistula and how it flows. I decided not to post it since people post food pics. Might be too much. Even though it hurts, dialysis went well. Phew! Thankful to God.
Onward, friends.
