So this post is going to be all about me. Just a heads up. Today, I went to OT as usual. I must say, it is still weird being the youngest person in therapy. Not to mention the fact that I usually work with OTs and am now on the other side of the therapy table. Moving on. After a moderate set back on my left arm extension, things were looking good today. In fact, she said I met all of my goals. This presented me with mixed emotions. Yes, I am glad to have met all my goals. But, this means that we won't really be working on getting my arms any straighter, instead, focusing on strength training. Granted the right arm is barely noticeable, only -8 degrees from normal, but the left is still about -50. Flexion on the right is normal, but still not on the left. I don't go back until the 21st to my doctor, but basically I already know what this means from my knowledge on the therapy end. If I am within functional limits, then I'm finished. I am having a hard time accepting that. And I'm not going to yet. She said she thinks I can get even more extension on the left. So I'm going to keep doing my happy little exercises until they have no more pull. So that's the good & the bad. Now for the pretty! These are some pictures I took in Savannah.
