I'm back in PT again. Doing 45 minute sessions twice a week.

Does the PT seem to help any? I do the same thing in the kitchen and depend on the counters to save me! I'm considering asking the neuro to write a prescription for PT.

I have a very hard time with stairs, too. I avoid them all I can. I just can't seem to coordinate my legs to do what my mind is telling them. Thank goodness I don't have any stairs here at home.
