I have come to really enjoy my time at physical therapy. I started going 3 times a week and have gone down to about 1 or 2, as my leg progressed. My therapists name is Bob, but I mostly work with his assistant, a super young kid named Trevor. The atmosphere is fun and I have become friends with the other patients that are there on the same days as me. Loud music is always playing (oldies) and jokes are always being made.
I am there for about an hour and a half. I usually do the same things each time I go, and then am instructed to do my exercises at home.

| I get an ultrasound for 5 minutes. It sends waves deep into the tissue and helps heal and relax it. |
 |
| I do 10 minutes on an exercise bike to help strengthen my ankle and leg |
 |
| The put small sticky squares all over my leg that shoot fuzzy electric shock waves into my muscles. I am also wrapped in a big heating wrap to warm up my leg. |

| One visit I showed up and found out that I had won a drawing! Dinner and movie tickets!! I was so tickled happy! |
 |
| Next appt I showed up and they had my picture displayed with another winner. Wahoo! ;) |
