Medicare pays for a certain number of weeks but you can get an extension. they do it by cost. My right leg is so weak. He told me to raise it and seehow long I could hold it up with his pushing it down. It immediately went down. that is either a good or bad sign, I don't limp. It was stronger before so maybe with the right exercises I can do it again. I held the left leg up much longer. I rolled up one rug which I tend to trip over. I like that rug. I will ask him again why i went down hill with the other therapists. He is really hyper and doesn't sugar coat anything.
