Health Update Part 2

Neurologist' report from MRI =  3 herniated discs in my neck with stenosis and nerve impingement along with some other issues. Adding that to the previous list of ailments I started my physical therapy sessions today. Prescribed 3 x week for 8 weeks. Yippy... Skippy....
It wasn't too bad today though. They started me off with a massage, then electrode stimulation while applying weighted hot packs that covered my whole back. Out of a whole booklet of exercises to do at home; they are only letting me do 2 (for now...lol). Wednesday I start with the water therapy in the heated pool along with the stuff they did today.
Back to school tomorrow, but for now I'm just going to relax and enjoy my hot pack. I'll try to write more tomorrow.
I see there are plenty of people checking this blog out. Please leave me your thoughts and comments. Thanks for checking in!
