PT Wore Me Out!

I worked with a different PT today. I saw Jackie, and she introduced me to Shandi. Shandi had a different energy, and I liked her. I do not think she quite gets MS, though. She really wore me out. She kept me standing too long, and she did not give me enough breaks.

Also, I was on the treadmill a little long at the beginning of the session, but that was Jackie's fault--she wrote the warm up plan on my chart.

But honestly, I was worn out earlier. I guess I walked around too much at work. I got home and collapsed for about 30 minutes. I was feeling better then, and I felt okay when I got to PT. But I was probably easily worn out, since my little tank was not exactly full to begin with.

So... Shandi gave me a whole bunch of homework. She gave me an exercise plan with different stuff M/W/F and T/Th/Sa. We'll see.

But my pain was down. I wonder... Could it be? Could the desipramine be working already? It has only been three days.
