Daily Log 01/12/2008

Woke up at 10AM for in home physical therapy. We worked on range of motion. Things went okay. I'm starting to get concerned though. My range of motion is improving but, the pain is still severe with no improvement. Waking up is the most painful part of the day. After sleeping stretched out, my chest hurts so much that I almost cry. I'm really starting to get frustrated. I can't stand being helpless. Trying to lift anything hurts so much. Kat has been amazing. I walked with Kat and Buffy to the mailbox for the first time since the accident and it went okay. We stayed at a very slow pace. I tried dusting and got most of it done but, it was extremely painful. Not only on my chest but, my lower back, shoulders, and ribs were all painful. Probably due to whiplash. I had to have Kat move the fish tank because of the pain it caused when I tried to lift it. It only ways 5 pounds or so. Once again, I couldn't do the dishes. I tried to stand at the bathroom sink to shave and my lower back tightened up to the point of severe pain.
