physical therapy

yesterday was first day of pt. at this point i understand the focus is getting the shoulder to loosen up & back up to moving freely. U district worked me and gave me exercises to do @ home. do them 2x / day. my shoulder has a different kind of pain, gosh it hurts, not the same as from the surgery. i have not found a pain free position for sleep. don’t want to go back on prescription pain meds and my self medication doesn’t last thru the night. nov will be spent working range of motion. i learned that complete healing of repaired tendon is 6 month @ earliest b4  perhaps surviving a simple fall. if so, march will be my ride month. it is what it is. i wonder if i didn’t start the tear when i fell that broke my collar bone back almost 3 years ago.

yesterday i started riding an exercise bike @ anytime fitness. i made 45 mins. pretty cool machine in that the workout can be programmed and performance is displayed. shit, out of shape as reflected in my heart rate. stay on it. machine has a small tv and headphone jack for entertainment. i watched a silent football game.

i figure i will stay here in spokane thru nov. today i move out of house back to my van.

ski porn movie night sat @ old friends house. i haven’t skied for 5 years, won’t have current experiences to share w/ that crowd.

snow is forecast for this weekend. i have my snow tires @ my neighbors’ barn which i hope i do not need for nov.

i am fighting a cold. i am spending time indoors and around people. riding outside seemed to keep me free of illness.

work out today, do my wash, dinner @ elk then back to neighbors’ driveway.
