I just started PT today - maybe it's because I'm my age - but the guy started me out slowly - trying to get my hips, legs and feet to do what they're supposed to do - when they're supposed to do it - can't wait until we get to balance - it's always fun to fall in public - he put me on a machine that you push treadles sort of like a recumbent bike - that was fun - I know from past experience with PT that you can train new groups of muscles to do the work of the ones that have failed - keep at it you'll be back in a kayack in no time - maybe run down Socatean for practice !

I'll do it in April if you go with me! LOL! It should be about 40 degrees by then!

right now - the lake is frozen ... but my neighbor has one of those 'treadle' paddle-boats ... I may use it this summer - but, I'm afraid that I'll get out to the middle of the lake and not have the energy to peddle back to shore ..
BUT - last summer, I went on a couple canoe rides ... and let my arms do the work - I felt like a million bucks when we got in ... I didn't have to stress out my legs ... and just the walk back home was enough for me! I want a canoe for my birthday! LOL
I know you're knee deep in snow for awhile yet ... maybe one of those treadle-paddle boats would be a fun exercise to work into your routine!  |
Just walking to the car is enough for me right about now! It's the ICE! We have one of those paddle boats, it's a double and it ain't easy to do by yourself! My side keeps sinking!

So far so good.
I spent most of the time between the parallel bars trying to stand and walk without doing my weeble imitation.
The exercises to strengthen my left arm actually felt good.
I was a little sore the next day, but not too bad.
Unfortunately, the therapist and I have decided that I must give up my dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. 
I wish I could find a water exercise program.
I really would enjoy that.
Best of Luck to you and hope the therapy helps. |
Risby, The ballerina comment just cracked me up! Gotta warn me to swallow the coffee first when you do that!
I am glad to hear I am not the only one in this! Keep posting your successes and rants! I'm right there with you all!!
