> Well- your decision. I think the cons are stronger, but if you are a glutton for punishment, the pros will probably win.See, the thing is, I have to Be Perfect, yah know? If I cancel, and tell them that I would prefer being rescheduled than transferred to another PT, that shows that I'm "too weak" to be a correct patient. I have to get over it. Why? I don't know. I only know that things like this do trigger that Be Perfect thing.
What we kinda decided today, though, is that I'm going to try to hold in my mind that, if I have a problem with it tomorrow, I can leave. Just because I show up, doesn't mean I have to stay. I can tell the other PT that I'm uncomfortable being touched, that it's hard for me to relax, and that he needs to be on the lookout for me to say "No more." And, maybe the fact that I can get up and leave will allow me to stay.

> Racer, can you call your Pterrorist and ask for exercises to do at home? or stretches your DH can help you with? the therapeutic benefits of lump-free gravy?I do a lot of exercises at home, that's most of my treatment. The sessions in the clinic are mostly made up of him manipulating my leg, mostly with the strap around it. Some new stuff involves pressing on my butt, too, which is uncomfortable, but a little easier for me. (Probably because I don't see him while he does it, or maybe because he can't see my fat belly when I'm lying on it.)
I'm not sure their position on gravy, lumpy or otherwise. Maybe I should ask?

Thanks for your response.
