Welcome Back to School! It's that time of the year. Summer is over and I officially say adios to my crop of kiddos from last year. New kiddos are on my roll sheets and in my grade book. My room has once again been rearranged so that I can make the most out of my space and hopefully give my kiddos a comfortable place to learn. I have lots of ideas running through my head, and even though I am NOT ready for my summer to be over, I am getting more motivated each day. I have a couple weeks of lesson plans completed, to-do lists ready to go, and lots of organizing and meetings in the works. I think I'll be ready to meet my new kiddos on Thursday of next week. Cross your fingers they are ready to meet me too! :)
On another note, I started something new. I created a Facebook page for my Creative Soul photography, frames, and accessories. I am a little nervous about it. What if people look at my stuff and don't like it? What if they think, "I can do that." I hope that doesn't go through their heads, but the little devil on my shoulder just has to give me his two cents worth. I need to find a way to shut him up. lol My Facebook page currently has mostly my photography on it. I have a couple frames and I have several more to load to the page. I think I'll stretch it out a bit so I can get them on there a few at a time and keep the page fresh. I have already had some people ask me about my photography, and I have received a couple frame orders. That is exciting to me! I am so looking forward to creating the frames, and I am REALLY looking forward to shooting some pictures.

I went to my first physical therapy appointment for my ankle and foot yesterday. I saw 2 therapists and they both said that I had great mobility in my joints and that was really good. They also did some "testing" on my calf to see if I had tender spots. Turns out I do and didn't even know it! Apparently, the tendon that I hurt is connected to the muscle that runs up the inside of our calf muscles. It is tender and sore and I didn't even realize it until they started messing with it. Compared to my other leg, it is extremely tender. I guess we humans compensate for our pain by "stressing" other parts that are connected to the injured area to help compensate for the injury. In my case the calf hurts.
They decided to do 15 minutes of needling and 45 minutes of gym time. Needling consists of using acupuncture needles placed in very tender spots in the muscle to relieve the tenderness and pain. This is also good for plantar fasciaitis, which I have, so I am pretty excited that I will have help with that. I am not 100% sure what the gym time will incorporate. One of the therapists mentioned picking up items with my toes to help strengthen the muscles in my feet so they can help ultimately help support my tendon. I was nervous going in to the appointment as I didn't know what to expect, but now I am a bit excited since I know what we are doing, and we will FINALLY be able to make things better and back to normal. I'll keep you updated on my progress. We are shooting to have this completed by August 31st! Cross your fingers and say a prayer for me!
