March 4, 2020 - Unk Note - Day 114

Second road trip - a couple of miles to the LabCorp location.  Had my lab draw and came back home. 

Physical therapy resumed today.  We went down to the car and I showed Tarra how I was getting in and out of the car.  She offered some suggestions to make the motions easier, and she did say that I can begin driving as much as I want to as long as the pain level is low. 

We returned to the 4th floor and did what I'll call "Catwalk exercises", then she wanted to focus on my hip movement and had me lie on the bed and do multiple exercises to flex the hip muscles.  Giving me a strength rating of 2- on a 1-5 scale made me realize that I still have a long way to progress.  She ended today's session by giving my hip-knee muscles a Tiger Balm massage.  She added some ultrasound gel to make the massage smoother.  Felt great. 

Tomorrow we meet again to work on those pesky muscles.
