My week in San Jose

Hi there!

This past Monday we left for San Jose. The journey to San Jose is a long one. Since all the rain we have had the roads are in terrible shape. There are pot holes everywhere you look. What normally takes us an hour to get to the ferry now take us an extra 30 minutes as you cant drive fast with pot holes all over the road! Once we are on the other side it is smooth sailing as there is a new highway we take. I had a week of therapies scheduled. Daniella my current PT has one year left in school.  She returns to the University in January. We are yet again searching for another therapist until Daniella graduates. Daniella had reccommended one of her friends as a candidate from the University so we met Sebastian on Wednesday.  

On Tuesday I went to see Geovanny. He is very good but boy does he work me hard! He was very impressed with me as the last time he saw me was when we had just got back from Texas and I was still really tired from all that travelling and did not show him my best. This time I did. We had to measure me for my new stander. It is very nice. I can stand up and it forces me to work on my neck control. Hopefully I will be able to look all around in it. We had to make a few adjustments but it is almost ready for me to take home.  Tuesday afternoon I went to see Helda at Clinica Red and she put Kinesio Tape on my back and we worked together on my vision.

Wednesday Sebastian came to our hotel. He is a nice young man. He shows much confidence. We all went together to Geovanny’s office again and I worked out for close to two hours. Every time I leave Geovanny’s I am pooped and sleep like a baby. Geovanny touches me in different ways to make my body work. He has this one exercise  he puts pressure on my cheek and chest to get me to roll over. I am not so crazy about this exercise but it does the trick to get me to roll over. Another one is putting pressure on my feet and elbow to get me to turn my head and pull my arm out. It is hard to explain but it does the trick. Sebastian watched while Geovanny explained all that he was doing with me. We are waiting to see if Sebastian will take the job or not. He has not made a commitment yet but we should know something  next week.   Wednesday night we went to see Krystal and Tia Maria. They made a yummy Italian dish for my mom and dad. We did not stay out too late we were back at the hotel by 9pm as Thursday was going to be a long day for me!

Thursday morning I was working out with Marcella at Clinca Red and later that afternoon I saw Helda again. I worked very hard that day. Everybody loves my new glasses and all have commented on how much better I focus on things. I like my glasses too!

Friday  it was time to pack up and head home. We caught the 2pm ferry and were home by 5pm. What a long week! It is so good to be back home. I had a hard time sleeping that night. The travelling does something to me where it takes me at least 24 hours to get back in my groove. I kept my parents up that night as I would sleep for an hour than wake up again. Mom was up and down all night! I also was grinding my teeth something terrible. When I am agitated I grind my teeth. It really drives my mom crazy. She does not like to hear me grind my teeth she told me it makes all the hair on her stand straight up! I wish we knew why I grinded my teeth so much. Somedays I never do it and other days that is all I do! Oh well, sorry mom! 🙂

This weekend the plan is to relax and unwind a bit and get ready for my week of workouts. My mom has new exercises to show Daniella on Monday. Hope everyone has a great weeekend!

Love Malia
