On the Dr. Phil show I was watching yesterday, he was talking about setting goals by specific dates and times. I don't think that works for regaining your mobility. Your body heals and regains mobility at its own pace. It goes faster the more time I put in, but only to a point. If I push too hard, I usually just end up flaring myself up and slowing down progress.

One goal I've had since I started this, is to be able to touch my toes again someday. My wife thinks that's unrealistic because my back is so screwed up, and she may be right, but it's still my goal. I haven't set a time limit on that, though. If it happens, it will be on its own time. The same way a baby learns to walk on his own time. There's just no way to predict how long it will take.
