I finished 15 ASMI treatments and physical therapy sessions at Coppola Physical Therapy. The machine definitely helped increase mobility and derotate my spine. Here are some pics of the progress.
The cold snaps in the Northeast have been super unpleasant with my bionic spine. I’ve been told that since metal conducts cold differently than human tissue, cold weather changes how the metal feels in my body (i.e. pain).
I wanted to go to college in California. I had a scholarship to University of San Diego and loved it when I visited. But after being uprooted from New Orleans the summer before my senior year, and having to make my dating relationship of 2 years long distance, I wanted to return to New Orleans. I don’t regret my college life at Loyola New Orleans (or my Katrina semester at Loyola Chicago). But I feel like California has been calling my name ever since. I’m licensed as an LCSW in California since 2024 and most of my therapy clients are located there, so I feel connected there professionally, too.
Since it’s just me and the dogs, I’m taking my time to get there, camping along the way. Taking tons of pics, of course. More soon!
Love,
Renée
