She cut down the scheduled exercises, suggested I walk less for a day or two (DUH) and ended with the suggestion that I avoid using the car! I had to take an Oxycontin last night and again this morning, in addition to the scheduled "Drug Cocktail" of tramadol, gabapentin and extra strength Tylenol. I haven't needed an Oxy for a couple of days now.
Today a nurse came to change my bandages. I told her what happened and she agreed that a PT should not be causing pain and said I can request a different person. I did.
It may be time to call Attorney Dan Newlin or one of the many Morgans. Of course, I'm nothing but kidding but I will not let her or the next PT hurt me again and that is both a promise and a threat. The Home Health care service will be sending someone else for my 3 PT visits next week.

Sorry to hear this BK but sounds like you did NOTHING but the right thing. Even though it may seem like a step back, there will come another day when you'll say "hey, I feel like I moved 5 steps forward". Praying for that day to come soon!
