Re: My Final Week Of PT.....

[Guest guest]

Good Morning, Deb That is too bad about the insurance ending your PT but congratulations on your endurance to come as far as you have. I know you were really going through some tough times when I first joined and it has given me great courage to move forward. Still trying to recover from pneumonia but doing much better. Back to work today although my voice is still really "froggy". Feels good to be in my routine. Can you appeal your insurance company's decision? Best to you and I hope you can use your current momentum to keep you going on your own with your PT exercises.

into summerhere in Los Angeles!!Anyway, I received a letter from my insurance company yesterday that they've denied my extra PT requests from my OS. Boy and here I was bragging about how great they were! I'm allowed 16 visits a year, and those will be up next Friday.....I have 3 appts next week. I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm kinda bummed they are coming to an end. Yes, this from the woman who HATED going to PT. Now I'm actually gonna miss parts of it. I've come so far in the past couple of weeks and am so proud of myself!! But I know I need more PT.My big fear is that when I'm done I won't do it my own. Yes, I know I must do it...but I know myself too well. I have the best intentions, but I also have the best excuses. I'll be going back to work after the July 4th holiday and then I'll make the excuse of having no time. So I

must start drilling it into my heart and my brain right now to make time for myself to do it. Maybe I need to focus on choosing a few good exercises that I'll get the most out of. For sure my stationary bike.Sorry for the long post....just needed to get some of these uneasy feelings I have out. Have a good week everyone.Debi __________________________________________________

Ah...the dreaded frog voice! Glad you were feeling up to going back

to work. Sometimes that's the best medicine, but just remember to

not overdo it today. Yea, I sound like such a Mom...LOL.

I can appeal to my insurance co, which I bet my OS will do. I know I

need more PT sessions, but I also need to start doing it on my own

too. I bet these last 3 sessions my PT will really bust my butt...I

will be taking my pain med both before AND after my session. She's

probably thinking up all kinds of brutal exercises she can put me

through before I leave. That's why I call her my " physical

terrorist " .....LOL.

Take care Marcia, and have a good first day back..
