Angry Muscles

Physical therapy kicked my bootie today. I never knew I had so many muscles and all of them capable of such extreme pain and fatigue. I suppose it's more due to my complete 'out-of-shapeness' than anything else, but I prefer to blame it on PT. Word of advice, never say that an exercise is 'good' or 'easy', because they will take away the easy exercise and give you a friggin hard one.

But I guess you're wondering why PT? Well a few weeks ago I was moving a patient and they started sliding and I attempted to catch them. Bad idea...really, really bad idea. But common sense is completely over-ridden when a patient starts to fall. My brain knows that I should let them fall especially if I can't let help them without hurting myself, but once you see someone start to go you start to think of the low platelets, head injuries, incident reports and staying late to finish it. So now I have these delightful muscle spasms in my low back. Lovely.
