I’m sure this heat isn’t helping at all though I’m trying to remain positive but I’m finding the loss of my independence hard to deal with .

    My hospital / surgeon have us doing our PT at home - it’s a very structured but gradual programme and we are told to work up to the 10- 15 reps with each exercise. From week four we go to 10 exercises from the 5 I am doing just now- again to build up gradually .
