Hey Ken,

It must be the time of year for falling at work!  About two weeks ago I fell
at school - tripped over my own two feet in front of all my students!  I
fell behind my desk and all the kids could see was my feet...One of my boys
joked that I looked like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz who's feet
just stuck out of the house!  If only I had been wearing funky striped
stockings!

At least the fall got me back to PT...only 6 visits though.  I have a
feeling my PT will ask for more though.  Had the "eval" today.  He
discovered that my left leg is about 5 mm shorter than my right...I'm 28 and
don't ever remember anyone measuring me!  So, now I have some foam in my
shoe and can already tell a difference in my back.  Plus we will look at new
orthodics.  Heck the ones I have are ten years old and were made
pre-hamstring surgery!

As he said to me, at least if I "fall" periodically I can get the PT I
need...Pretty sad that insurance needs me to have some kind of injury to be
seen!

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Linda
