occupational therapy 1.A

-
I had my first OT appointment today. I went to the wrong Kaiser building and was almost 30 minutes late to my appointment once I made it to the correct building. (which was actually closer to my house than where I first went!!)

I have 3 exercises to do and another appointment in a week to asses my grip strength.
We determined that is my main area. For mountain biking, motorcycling, jiu jitsu, rock climbing and my exercise routine, I need to regain my total grip strength and range of motion in two fingers.

My fine motor skills and dexterity are not compromised. So I am thankful for that and I seem to only have 3 tendons that are involved.

I just have 3 exercises to do daily, NSAIDs as needed and tapping it up if i think I am going to do something stressful.

No hard jiu jitsu or climbing until next week..... =(

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
