(947)▪︎[ Hello, How Are Things? … 11•12•2020 ]

[ Hello Kirsten, How Have You Been? ]
[ I Have Not Seen You Since I Don’t Know
When ]

[ I Have Missed Your Advice ]
[ I Have Missed Your Professional Touch ]
[ You Are Always So Nice ]
[ & You Don’t Let Me Slack Too Much ]

[ Now My Circumstances Have Changed ]
[ You Are Always So Smart ]
[ You Have Probably Already Rearranged ]

[ Of What I Can Do & What I Can Not ]
[ My Neck Is Not Doing So Well ]
[ & My Back Is Not So Hot ]

[ With My Surgery Two Days Ago ]
[ You Know ]
[ That Is Why I Was Moving So Slow ]

[ You Let Me Lay On Some Ice For My Back ]
[ Then You Put Your Cold Hands On My Neck ]
[ & I Thought ( OH, THERE’S ANOTHER ICE PACK ) ]

[ The Way That You Break Down The Problems &
Terminology Amazes Me Everytime ]
[ The Way That You Are, The Way That You Do
Things ]
[ Gives Me Plenty Of Reasons To Write You A
Complimentary Rhyme ]

[ Every Session With You, You Are So Sweet ]
[ When Ever You Are My P.T. ]
[ It Is Such The Treat ]

[ Whenever You Treat My Neck ]
[ You Give & Get ]
[ So Much Respect ]

[ Ms. Pope Is Very Good & Nice, But She Is
Not You ]
[ I Believe In Giving Credit ]
[ When & Where Credit Is Due ]

[ Next Time I Want To Hear About Your Wedding
Ceremony ]
[ I Hope You Have For Me ]
[ Lots Of Pictures To See ]

[ Hello To Your Husband & Young Son ]
[ Having A Child @ That Age Is Alot Of Fun ]

[ I Hope It Is Not Too Long Before I See
You Again ]
[ Because Until The Next Time The Thought Comes
Across My Brain ]
[ This Poetic Story Will Come To An End ]

(291)▪︎[ Kirsten & Cassidy … 4•6•2021 ]

[ Kirsten & Cassidy Make Quite The Pair ]
[ It Was A Nice Surprise ]
[ When I Got To Meet Cassidy When I Was There ]

[ Cassidy Came From Ohio ]
[ So Nicole & I Were More Than Happy To Greet
     Her With A Warm Hello ]

[ I Am Sure That Everyone Feels That The Part Of The Country
     That They Currently Reside In, Is The Best ]
[ But I Will Still Ask ]
[ How Do You Like Being In The Great Pacific Northwest? ]

[ How Did You Pick Our Itty ]
[ Bitty ]
[ … City? ]

[ When You Were Assigned To Kirsten To Shadow ]
[ You Will See That She Is The Best There Is ]
[ Because I Have Yet To Ask Her A Question Concerning My P.T.
     That She Did Not Know ]

[ Kirsten Might Be Slender In Stature, But She Packs Alot Of
     Power ]
[ She Doesn’t Ever Need A Rest @ The End Of The Hour ]

[ I Always Come To See Kirsten When My Body Is A Wreck ]
[ Right Now It Is My Foot, Back & Neck ]

[ I Haven’t Yet ]
[ & She Has Never Let ]

[ For Me To Ask Her To Cut Me Some Slack ]
[ Why Should I? ]
[ Because She Does Amazing Work On My Back ]

[ I Just Write Whatever Comes To My Mind ]
[ & I Write About People Who I Find ]
[ Are Really Kind ]

[ Even Before My Surgery The Subject Of P.T. Was Talked About
     Really Nice ]
[ Before I Was Asked Where? ]
[ I Did Not Have To Think Of The Answer Twice ]

[ Kirsten Isn’t Done With Me Until I Feel Better ]
[ When I Look Back Over The Last Couple Of Years ]
[ I Am Always Thankful That I Met Her ]

[ I Actually Have A Hard Time With The Whole Premise Of Fate ]
[ & Sending Me To The Best Was Not A Mistake ]

[ I Could Compliment This Wonderful Therapist Until I Was Blue In
     The Face ]
[ But This Is Not The Time Or The Place ]

[ I Was Very Impressed With Something That You Did Cassidy ]
[ This Was Something That I Don’t Usually See ]

[ It Wasn’t The Whole Time That Your Face Was Making A
     Statement ]
[ Of Acknowledgement ]

[ It Was How You Approached The Table & You ]
[ Knew ]
[ What To Do ]

[ Today I Felt & Could See ]
[ That You Were NOT Just An Observer ]
[ I Had 2 Very Qualified Physical Therapists Helping Me ]
[ To Get To A Place That Time Forgot ]
[ That Is A Time & Day Where I Could Go Through A Whole Day …
     OF Being Pain Free! ]

[ From The Bottom Of My Heart … I Say Thank You ]
[ Those Two Very Important Words ]
[ Are Always Way Over Due ]

~ The End ~

(531)▪︎[ What A Great Physical Therapist … 7•1•2021 ]

[ Kirsten, What Can I Say, That Hasn’t Already Been Said ]
[ Your Physical Therapy Sessions ]
[ Work So Much Better, Than Any Med ]

[ That Can Ever Be Prescribed ]
[ What You Do For Me Just Cannot Be Described ]

[ You Have Told Me To Refrain ]
[ From Concentrating On The Pain ]

[ Well Let Me Tell You Something About My Life ]
[ I Don’t Have Much Going On ]
[ Besides A Few Friends, The Pain & My Wife ]

[ I Have NEVER Had A Physical Therapist Call To Check Up
     On Me ]
[ @ Home ]
[ No Other Physical Therapist Ever Wanted To See ]
[ What They Didn’t Know ]

[ How Things Were Going Since Our Last Time? ]
[ No One Ever Wanted To Drop A Dime ]
[ & None Of Those In My Past ]
[ Deserves A Story For Them That Rhymes ]

[ Whenever Someone Brings Up P.T. I Give Them A Small Clue ]
[ About Where To Go ]
[ I Try To Send Business Towards You ]
[ That Is One Bit Of Information I Feel That They Should Know ]

[ I Tried To Tell Your Boss Today When He Was Leaving &
     We Were Waiting For The Elevator ]
[ He Seemed Annoyed ]
[ He Acted Like I Was Such The Bother ]

[ But I Said What I Wanted To Say ]
[ He Seemed Very Bothered In The Worst Way ]

[ Everything You Have Me Do On My Own ]
[ @ Home ]

[ I Have Never Tried Before ]
[ I Know That You Are Trying To Make It Easier For Me To
     Be Able To Walk ]
[ Without Collapsing To The Floor ]

[ You Pull My Right Leg To Go Over There ]
[ & You Do It With So Much Care ]

[ I Like How You Explain Things To Whomever Is Your
     Shadow ]
[ I Think You Make It So Easy To Get To Know ]

[ You Would Be Such The Greatest Instructor ]
[ Or Teacher ]

[ A Good Instructor/ Coach Never Instructs Their Students
     To Do Something That They Themselves Would Not Do ]
[ They Would Learn Things That They Would Do, Too ]

[ Now You Have Another Child On The Way ]
[ I Know You & Your Husband Are Excited About That Day ]

[ Your Son Will Have A New Sister Or Brother ]
[ I Hope They Grow Up To Be The Best In Their Job ]
[ Like Their Mother ]

[ I Am Still Amazed About How Strong You Are ]
[ When I Think About All Of The Wonderful People
     In Your Agency ]
[ I Will Always Say That You Are The Brightest Star ]

[ If Ever There Was A Contest To Say Who Is The Best
      & I Had A Vote ]
[ I Would Put Your Name In Capital Letters ]
[ Because Kirsten, You Are The G.O.A.T. ]

[ I Thank YOU For Being YOU! ]

(728)▪︎[ Kirsten … 8•27•2020 ]

[ Nothing Gets Stronger Until You Overload It ]
[ Everything Counts ]
[ Even Just A Little Bit ]

[ But Muscle Memory ]
[ Can Mean Everything ]
[ Whatever You Want To See ]
[ Depends On What You Bring ]

[ Do You Bring A Good Attitude ]
[ Do You Always Check Your Mood ]

[ @ The Door? ]
[ What If You Do Your Whole Set ]
[ & Kirsten Yells ( NOW, GIVE ME TWO MORE! ) ]
[ Is That Demand Met ]
[ With Tears On The Floor? ]

[ Or Do You Gather Your Energy & Check Yourself? ]
[ Knowing That You Wouldn’t Do This ]
[ For Just Anyone Else ]

[ Because You Know That Kirsten Knows What’s Best ]
[ So You Always Want To Beat Every Test ]
[ She Will Always Let You Rest ]

[ A Minute Or Two ]
[ & Then Kirsten Will Once Again ]
[ Let You Know What You Need To Do ]

[ She Is So Good @ Breaking Things Down So You Can ]
[ Understand ]
[ She Is Always Your Biggest Fan ]

[ Kirsten Does Not Criticize ]
[ She Does Not Cut You Down To A Smaller Size ]

[ A Good Therapist Is One That Is Constantly Explaining ]
[ As She Goes ]
[ So You Are Never Complaining ]
[ About The Exercises She Shows ]

[ But When Things Get Easy To Do ]
[ She Will Give You Something New ]
[ & Then You May Discover ]
[ You Have A Muscle Group You Never Knew ]

[ You Never Want To Run & Hide ]
[ Let Her Be Your Guide ]
[ & In The End You’ll Find Out ]
[ That She Never Lied ]
