I am bending it they are just assisting in bending it so I don't bend it fair. Otherwise I would towel to bend it and if I bend it back to far I can give myself a cramp. I believe he said it helps my thighs and hip flexors
My physical therapist is wonderful he tells me why I have to do certain exercises and explains how it will help me. He figured out that my hip flexors and hip educators are extremely tight so we are working on loosing them up and making them stronger for me. He gave me one exercise of laying on...
Thank you only certain friends know what I am doing because they are helping me. I hope to shock my friends and family and maybe make them cry a little.
Yes she tried to tell me to only use my walker and tried to tell me I should use my wheelchair all the time. I told her that was not my intention. She tell me I can not use my cane. I am willing to use my wheelchair for long distances but I want to use cane and get off the walker

Thanks, I have had many health issues so have learned to advocate for myself. I know what I am capable of doing and I need help getting there so I need to work with people that are willing to put the time and effort I put in. If I don't get one I will find it with someone else. I need people...

I have to say really love my Doctor.
My physical therapist released me from PT on the 24th of February. She thought I was donebecause everyone with knee replacements only has a certain about of PT and therefore I will probably never walk with a cane safely. I didn't believe her tried to have...

Work is going good. PTis cutting me loose after this week even though I don't go back to my doctor for another two weeks. My physical therapist thinks my legs are where they should be and because of my back issues I am better off walking with a walker and it isn't safe for me to walk with a cane...
