Thank you all for your input regarding PT and strength training. After 11 weeks, I realized that my PT kept adding more weight to the leg lifts and other exercises. Yes, I could handle it BUT for the days following...I was stiffer and in a degree of pain. She was concerned about my stability and said that my insurance would cover more sessions. Initially, I was pleased with the possibility of more time in PT.
After my last session, I made the decision not to continue after all. Instead, I am riding my recumbent bike every day and doing my exercises at home. I am walking in the house without the cane (except when I first wake up) and I still use the cane away from home. This is where I am. I try not to compare
myself to others. This is a marathon...I really have to temper my expectations.
