Thanks for all the encouraging comments, folks!

I think the lady pegged me as an overacheiver or something. She was showing me this put my foot on the back of the chair behind me and "don't kneel on your kneecap" and sttttretch that leg by leaning back towards the heel of the foot on the back of the chair!!

I spazzed up so hard I couldn't even scream, just an open mouthed "Silent Scream" thing..LOL. The only good thing was the table beside me that I fell on, trying to unbend before I went through the ceiling. Repeat that about twenty times with different muscles and then tell me to try to do all of those exercises in sets of three, twice a day until next week.

Funny Lady!

She puts me on the bike to do all over exercise of my legs. When I told her I couldn't feel resistance at the 5.0 setting on that bike, she cranked it up to 10.0. It was all uphill from there for TEN MINUTES! I jello'd off the seat and held on all the way to where my coat was hanging. It took me twenty minutes to be able to drive away.

I can already tell we are going to have fun. I am willing to give this the best I can to see just how far one can come back with the help of Tysabri. I want to be working back at my old job by spring!!!!

It better work. It already hurts.
