So the treatment has started... I'm in a physical therapy for about 45 minute sessions 3 times per day... They are pretty intense and definitely require a lot of mind-body focus, but they've had tons of success with this type of Biofeedback that I'm optimistic that although I may not be doing so well these first couple sessions, things will improve over time. So I just keep plugging along (no pun intended) and show up at my appt's and do as they tell me.
I've been able to tolerate more food which is a step in the right direction. Meeting with a nutritionist this morning so I'm sure I'll have a whole new diet (that better include Chicken Wraps and BBQ Quesadillia from LITTLE LOUIE'S). It's also possible I maybe put on a gluten-free diet since that is supposed to really help with people who have similar issues.
Speaking of similar issues. I met a wonderful girl yesterday who just graduated college and has been here for a week already doing the exact same treatment and experiencing the same symptoms as I was this past 17 months. It was nice to talk to someone who is going thru the same thing and can truly understand what all this "crap" means. We exchanged numbers and are on the same therapy schedule so I'll see her again a few more times before she leaves to go home to Buffalo, NY on Thursday night. We actually did dinner with her and her dad last night which was really nice. Nice to have someone on a bad day to call and be able to relate to what that's all about.
So today we got 3 therapy sessions and a nutritionist and if it can finally warm up past 60 degrees and winds at 20mph then it would be great to play golf again (as I did the 1st morning and afternoon). Supposedly it'll be back to 80's and sunny starting tomorrow for the rest of the time I'll be here.
Shoot me calls or emails or texts or BB Messengers or Facebook... I'm always checking my phone for messages and love to hear the support and motivational speeches...
I'll update again 2nite with a full report of the days activities. It sort of feels like I'm at Camp again but for sick people...
4 down, 20 sessions to go...
