Wednesday was pretty boring. I sat in the recliner all day because I had a snow day. I had to ask to be taken to the bathroom and I needed help taking a shower. Thursday morning, today I was in therapy. They stretched my left leg. Now I feel tired. Next Tuesday I am going up to 10 minutes on the treadmill. One person has to stand beside me and I hold myself up with my arms. This is so I can strengthen my legs for standing and walking.

Amber - I was in a bad motorcycle accident about 15 years ago (my wife called it my "stupid husband trick"). I was pretty busted up. I had to have physical therapy for what I thought was a long time. I hated it! They basically had to hang me from the ceiling to use the treadmill to get most of my weight off my legs. My left hand was broken in a bunch of places. - working on that was the most painful part of therapy. I guess we need to be grateful that there are good people out there who have the knowledge and skills and dedication required to help us out. thank you God for those special people!
ReplyDeleteWell Ben.... at least she did add the "trick" after stupid husband :P
DeleteHi Amber, It was very nice to see you this past saturday. You are an amazing person.. You are not letting this stop you. You get right in there and play the Wii games with us. I like that you are telling your story. It does help others, cause there are alot of people who are scared and don't know what to say or do.. I keep thinking of the day you and I played tennis and bowling on the Wii, I had fun and I know you did by your smile and your laugh!! Keep up the good work and keep the posting coming, I enjoy reading them and learning more!! Take Care, Love ya!!!
