PICKING UP MARBLES WITH MY TOES!
YEA!
At the physical therapy place I've had to pick up marbles with my toes for the past four weeks. My therapist says it's very helpful for the healing and strengthening of my broken ankle. In the beginning I found it an impossible task as well as an embarrassing one - I just couldn't get my toes around the d--- marble to pick it up and drop it in the box.
I hated it. I hated having to try and get my toes around those slippery little spheres to no purpose it seemed to me. How the heck did this dumb exercise help my broken ankle I wanted to know?
They said picking up marbles would improve the mobility and flexibility of my ankle so I continued to try. But I have to say it was the most annoying, frustrating thing I'd had to do in a long time. I was tempted to refuse to do it but I held off, and soon I found I was able slowly to get it done.
Of course I got better and better at it as any physical therapist would tell you I would. Today I was told I was ready to move on to bigger and harder things (harder?). That today would be the last day I had to pick up marbles with my toes.
Halleluiah!
