Sankalpa Day 15

I went to PT
I am progressing OK
Get to try treadmill

Drs don't trust me
Think I do too much too soon
They need to trust me

Bought new orthotics
My heel comes out of my shoe
I do not like them


Staying positive is not necessarily in my nature, but I think I've done pretty damn good for the first 14 entries.  My first haiku today is positive.

Here's the real story:
The PT was nice and knowledgable but seemed leery of my and my actions.  Maybe it was because when he said I could try the treadmill, I immediately asked how fast.  When he didn't answer as quickly as I had expected, I told him I could do three miles per hour in the boot on the walking track to give him an idea.  He said I could do four miles per hour, but I could only go for ten minutes and build up to twenty (let pain be your guide).  He also suggested orthotics, Superfeet, which I bought.  I tried to explain to the guy at the store and my PT that I have narrow heels, and I was worried about my heel slipping which it does.  The orthotics suck, but I'll stay positive and give them a try.

Then on the way home I was driving east as was the dumb ass in the lane to my right.  He did a U turn from his lane, in front of me to switch directions and go west.  It's snowing and the roads are icy.  I slammed on my brakes with all of my might to avoid the collision which I did by inches.  Unfortunately, this only aggravated my ankle causing pain, so I can't go to the gym.

Oh, and the contractor turned off my heat today, so it was 61º when I arrived home.  When I was whining to a friend, she told me about a new polar bear video which is positive like my first haiku.
