I met with my former (and now again current) physical therapist at Abbott Northwestern Hospital to reassess my shoulder. I simply need some fine tuning now rather than any major work. What a relief that is! I want to be able to take up a more high-energy demanding activity like boxing or kick-boxing in the near future. Once my shoulders are a bit stronger and more stabilized I will have at it. Pursuing a more expressive and aggressive form of physical activity will also help me with the final resolution of my PTSD.
On that note I plan to ask my psychotherapist to reassess me when I see him tomorrow. I believe it is very possible that I might be un-diagnosable for PTSD by this coming summer. What a treat it will be to feel fully restored in mind and body!
I finally can clearly discern the end of the physical therapy process I have been undergoing these last several months. I went to see my physical therapist at HCMC Parkside Alternative Medicine Clinic this morning. Yesterday I scheduled a reevaluation of my left shoulder with the physical therapist I was previously seeing within the Abbott Hospital system. Every aspect of my health continues to improve. I am confident that I will be done with my physical therapy process by the beginning of March. I believe this is a very realistic expectation to have; it seems likely I will complete my shoulder work well before that date. Setting realistic goals is very important.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Germanic American Institute in St. Paul earlier today. I went for a number of reasons: 1) I love German food, 2) I wish to expand my network of career contacts and 3) I want to hear others speaking in my mother's language. It's a good way for me to keep my mind sharp for my future endeavors.
It snowed last night. But the days are growing longer each day. This evening I went for a walk with my roommate's dogs. The nearly full moon illuminated the freshly fallen snow. It was a striking sight to behold.
