of therapy and movies

May 09, 2009 08:51

I've been to occupational therapy a few times now, and I guess its helping. I haven't cried from the pain, but it's still there. For instance, the pain is uncomfortable right now in my arm and my left wrist, but I can deal. The therapist had requested 8-12 visits from my doctor, but they approved me for 24. I guess they think I'm that bad! haha

I learned a few things from the therapy about myself though:

1. As Margie, my therapist said, I'm severely right handed.
2. My grip strength is still in the 50-75 percentile range. Imagine how strong I would be if I didn't have bad wrists and elbows!
3. I have really bad posture, which I'm slowly correcting. But I'm sorry, I can't sit straight for 8 hours at work.
4. I have a high tolerance for electric currents coursing through my arm.
5. I always knew I was oddly flexible, but it's weird having a medical professional confirm it.

Work has been okay, better now that I'm not crying every few hours. We've had overtime the last couple weeks, but I haven't been able to work as much as I used to, due to the therapy appointments and Jared's work schedule. It's okay though. Working extra always makes me incredibly tired anyway. There was one day last weekend where I slept til 8:30 am! That's unheard of for me in my post college days. I mean, even today I woke up at 6:20 am.

Summer movie season is upon us again. I make Jared a handy reference list of the movies he wants to see for the entire summer. Going through all the movies released each weekend made me see there is about A ZILLION chick flicks this summer. I probably won't get to see any of them though *sigh* We saw the Wolverine movie last weekend. And I pre-ordered our Star Trek IMAX tickets last week. We shall be seeing it tomorrow with blazepoet  and yakavenger . Jared claims I'll like it, but I was never a big Star Trek fan. I've only seen one episode, and I was about 8 at the time. *shrugs*  I'll probably like it more than the Terminator movie in a few weeks time. The only movies I'm looking forward to so far this summer is Up, Transformers, and, of course, Harry Potter. Seeing the other movies though makes Jared happy. And I like a happy Jared! I also like sad Jared, but trust me, happy Jared is always better.

We're going to Foxwoods again for Jared's birthday this year. I have a few days off from work, so, while we won't have much to gamble with, it will still be nice to get away for a few days.

P.S: What if this happened to Bruce Wayne??
