Self-Therapy and The Desire For Improvement

•

I was doing research online for physical therapy and stumbled across a website and this web page was to be flash cards for the therapist. It gave me an insightful look of how these people are instructed and how we as patients are to be if/when we are to be at physical therapy. For those who maybe be out of reach or lack funds of whatever cause to not be able to get out and get help then check it out and see if it works for you.

What I got out of it was interesting, like how they use terms that can be researched and things I/you can do or try to improve. One thing of a challenge that I can see is, say I stumble across someone incompetent and not use items learned, how will I feel after? It could send me more into a position than I already was. I currently have done things like pic 2 points and switch back and forth while counting to 100. By 100 my myoclonus is gone. When I look up it's back. Yippy right? How many times do you think I keep doing it after? 0 Of course.

Please be careful understand life is still grand even with our condition.

My self therapy is actually learning to do things while in seated position. Im not in wheelchair just yet but my gait and strength is good these past 6 months. Being 80% certain it may not come back, i've built a one of a kind tool box for people on the floor/ground while under a vehicle or sitting down maybe people like me. Its coming along so nice and professional that I plan to pursue in starting a business designing and modifying items like a tool box or even a telescopic tilt table. All the effort I did while maintaining a seated position majority of the time.

I'd rather do that gain more of new perspective and position in life understanding and living with the new me rather chasing after something that may never come around. All the time/energy/money spent on hopes and dreams feeling depressed and sad no thanks. Rather spend time being happy I bore fruit and happiness from things I thought is WAAY cooler.
