Interesting visit to the PT

[Crankin]

Went for my second visit yesterday. I brought up the hip asymmetry/leg length stuff. I don't have it. I *do* have a mild case of untreated scolisosis, though, that might contribute to my woes. Anyway, I told him that I felt like needed a massage, and he did do quite a bit of that, as well as having me go through my exercises. So, despite going to boot camp before the session, and a day of work, I feel much better today. He gave me one more thing to do, but I am basically doing one whole set in the AM, and then a few of the essentials at night.
A funny story. A few years ago, I related this on the running thread, but it it's worth repeating. So for years, when my son was training, he told us about a "mean guy," who would run by him, as he rode by. The guy never smiled or said hi. Around this time, Bill Rogers moved to my former town, and after talking to others, we deduced this was him. Over the years, DH and I also saw him, and our family had a mission to make him smile. We finally got him to say hi.
OK, so yesterday, we were talking, and I knew Walter lived in Boxborough, so I asked him where. He lives on the street my street was off of, where we always saw the "mean guy," aka Bill Rogers. I looked at him closely, and saw to my dismay, that the mean guy was Walter, my PT, who is a really mild mannered, nice person! To check this out, I asked him if he knew Bill Rogers and he said yes, and told me where he lives, which is on the other side of town. Now, Bill may have been running down Burroughs Rd., but it was definitely Walter we made fun of all of those years.
I am going to tell him this in 2 weeks, when I go back.

That is a funny story, crankin -- and a very small world!

You'll have to post his reaction when you tell him. It really does show us how first impressions can sometimes be oh so wrong. I remember being so terrified of this big burly bearded guy at work when I first saw him, and he turned out to be the biggest teddy bear you'd ever hope to meet. Looks can be deceiving!

Yeah, he was just concentrating on his running. We got him to smile around the time he must have been injured, as he was walking for a few months.
DS arrives in the early AM tomorrow and I know he will enjoy this.

Heh. That's funny. I wonder if he'll remember you and your son.
