Pity Party 8-22-2014

I was ready to get to PT today.  I hadn't been there since Monday and here it was Friday.  It was a long week already and it wasn't even over yet.  When I left PT on Monday I told them I'd see them on  Friday cause I was going up north for a few days.  I even talked to Mark to make sure he thought it was ok to put so many days in between my appointments.  He assured me I'd be fine plus we talked about stuff I should make sure I do up there and to be careful on what trails I walked on if we hiked.  

Well....all that fell through Monday night when I got a call at 3:00 am because Alicia was in the ER.  She had been having some severe stomach issues and had reached the point where she could no longer take it.  Without going into all the details of our ER experience and all that, she had to have her gallbladder removed.  So I was at the hospital from 3:30 am Tuesday morning until I took her home on Wednesday afternoon.  I hung out with her Wed, and then all day Thurs.  By the time I went to PT this morning (Friday) I was hurting pretty good.  I really didn't do a whole lot of stuff at the hospital.  Occasionally I would do some stretches, leg lifts and high knees.  But nothing major.  The nurse did give me an ice pack that I continued to put on my knee but bottom line is I needed a good workout and massage.  

I got to PT and I was greeted with questions of how my trip up north was.  :(   I was sad I didn't get the chance to go and disappointed that I hardly did any work.  So when Mark was doing my massage and ice I told him why I felt like I had struggled today.  He said that he wouldn't have known I was struggling cause I did great.  And of course reminded me that stuff comes up we have no control over and in this case I was aware I was not going to do all I needed to do but I still iced and tried to do a little.  Really it all just came down to me having my own little pity party.  I was worried about Alicia, I was over tired and I was sore.  Whaaaaaa
