I am sitting in the Tea Room at TeslaCon and using some papers from my purse as a fan… The papers are my discharge paperwork from my total knee replacement in May. Almost six months to the day from my second cyborg assimilation surgery and I am relaxing after loading my own luggage/gear (two trips), going from one end of the hotel to the other (twice, four times if we include the luggage trips), and lugging my (collapsible) lighting gear with me. Despite a few setbacks and attitude adjustments, I think I can say that I roundhouse kicked this recovery in the face! #TKR #surgeryrecovery #physicaltherapy #Teslacon7 #teslacon2016 #MadisonWi (at Marriott Madison West)

day 319 : this sweaty smile brought to you by going through some ISH that puts you in hell, and then feeling like you’re OWNING this comeback.
.
my physical therapist had a student today. at the end of my session, she told me that when i walked in, she thought i was a PT too, not a patient. WHAT?!
.
i am so incredibly grateful for my life and how i feel right now. i would have never imagined that a #spinalcordinjury would help me transform the way i think and feel to this degree. we are all powerful magic and sometimes it takes a really bad thing to happen to make us wake up from the monotony and dissatisfaction with our situations.
.
i sometimes hate that our standard greeting for those we encounter is “hi how are you.” especially since most of the time the question is asked without remotely caring what the answer is, and the answer is mostly given as a pre-populated response. i try to be as genuine as i can, and recently my answer has been falling somewhere around “i’m so freaking fantastic.”
.
i’ve noticed that people that give a REAL response, especially if it’s unconventionally happy/grateful/smiley, have had some put on them and they are genuinely happy because they’ve taken the time to not be so oblivious at the little things that make life wonderful and worth making every second the best second you could possibly have. even if you’re still fighting a fight. i like talking to those people. stories are important.
.
life is too short. wake up. be you. be the best version of you with whatever is on your plate.

Current situation. All taped up! First day of PT went well! Definitely sore, and my knee is a lil angry from all the new mini movements, but I’m hoping this helps in the long run. Even had some electrodes put on my knee. (Don’t remember the name for the process!) Fingers crossed! #fitfam #fitchick #fitgirlproblems #kneepain #spidertechtape #fitnessjourney #eatclean #pushyourlimits #physicaltherapy #patellaproblems

It’s been a busy month for our dancers with the opening of Le Corsaire. Each day consists of morning class and long rehearsals. Thankfully, we have an amazing Physical Therapy (PT) team to keep them healthy and strong! In honor of National Physical Therapy Month, we spoke with our PT team and some of our dancers on how they maintain their bodies throughout the season.
“Physical Therapy is a really good resource to make sure my body is in shape. It is a good form of cross training to prevent injury and strengthen my endurance as a dancer.” – Company dancer Alec Roberts
“I have a series of exercises that I do on a regular basis just to maintain my weaknesses and make sure everything is okay. I’m always on the elliptical. I start my day with Physical Therapy. I am here an hour before class doing exercises. I can’t live without PT, it is my favorite place.” – Company dancer Caralin Curcio
“Our schedule mimics the dancers’ schedule. If they’re here, we are here. We work from the time classes start till the end of rehearsals. They are here for injury prevention and bigger things. We have to meet physical issues across the board. Recently thanks to Stewart Healthcare, we were able to hire another full-time therapist, Kerri Williams. She teaches pilates and conditioning rehab.” – Director of Physical Therapy Heather Southwick
“I typically see between 12-20 patients a day. Especially when we are in show, it’s about getting people safely back to stage. I was a dancer first so that’s been exceptionally helpful to have them know that I understand what they’re talking about.” – Physical Therapist Kerri Williams
We asked Company dancers Sarah Wroth and Paul Craig to tell us their favorite Physical Therapy equipment:
Sarah Wroth: “I like the pilates reformer – for the length that it creates throughout the body and the unique conditioning for ballet technique that it does.”
Paul Craig: “The ice machine… Because it keeps your drinks cool.” #dancerhumor
Heather also gave us some tips on how to stay healthy!
“Be consistent. Be kind to yourself, listen to yourself. Everyone pushes themselves hard in our society these days. It can be helpful to take a step back and ask what does my body need?”
It’s been almost a decade and I’m still figuring this out #rebirth day [SOUND ON]

[SOUND ON] 9 years ago today my life was forever changed when a drunk driver hit the car I was in, leaving me a C5 #quadriplegic… It’s been a long road but we have so much more to see! This song is about that journey for me. Listen to the full song via link in bio!@iamoppo
I make my beats on an iPad with a stylus strapped to my hand then record, mix and master my songs on the computer.

idk what’s worse…
talking myself out of canceling my 4 specialist appointments this coming week coz ik they are important & pushing through my past traumas with doctors… or … dealing with chronic & debilitating physical pains 
that amazing feeling you get when
you go to a new clinical care professional/doctor & leave feeling validated….maybe even looking forward to going back….to be understood
Right flex compared with my Left flex. Shattered my right arm near the shoulder 2 years ago. I’m still working to get my flex back with my right dominant arm.
