Another PT session. This is the fourth one and I'm feeling better. Matt is adding more exercises that are helping me stretch my spinal column where that protruding disc is causing problems.
I've been parking a couple of blocks away from the center. It helps for me to walk a little before the sessions and then afterwards. I could park closer but this does make me feel better.
I ran into Bob again and this time he was talking nonstop. He explained more about his stroke and what he needed to do to recover. The stroke caused a lot of problems with his sensory capabilities including visual and hearing. I noticed he was wearing hearing aids now. He showed me the scar where he had the brain surgery. I will need to get over to see him at home and give him some support. Next week I'll get his phone number again. It would be nice to see Desty too.
And then there was another conversation with my new Philly friend. I thought I'd bring up something that only Philly people liked to talk about and that was the Mummer's Parade. I mentioned that as a kid I played sax in a string band. Well, that got him excited because it turns out he is a Mummer too and marches in a Fancy Division group. His father and grandfather are also Mummers who were in the Quaker City String Band. One of them, I'm not sure which, is in the Mummer's Hall of Fame. Matt was wondering what we were talking about.
