All Twisted Up!

So, I went to a physical therapist today for some residual pain in my pelvis, which I thought was from just having a baby - turns out, my body is seriously messed up and has been for years! Apparantely, I have extremely high arches in my feet and my body can't support itself on them, so my feet smash down flat and roll in, which causes my legs to twist in and my pelvis twists - in 3 different places!! It's so weird - I always just thought I was extremely un-flexible! Ha!

So, the lady helped put my bones back in the right places and then she taped my feet up so that I walk more on my arches and I seriously almost fell over! I pretty much have to re-learn how to walk on my feet! (and it doesn't help that it feels like I'm walking on hooves with all the tape!) For some reason unbeknownist to me, she also taped my bum - it doesn't seem to be "helping" except for the butt-lifting effect. I have to leave all this tape on for a couple days and then she gave me more so I could tape myself at home - I'm thinking about doing a full body lift now!

Ok, I'm kind of chuckling about the bum tape. Just make sure it stays clean over the next few days. Hee hee!

Holy cow. I hope you learn fast. They always say you can't teach and old dog new tricks. Just kidding.
