Physical therapy update

In physical therapy today we did some standing in the parallel bars. The first time I was able to stand for one minute and forty-two seconds, and the second time for a minute and fifty seconds. The intent is to get the legs used to bearing weight and to not use the arms too much to support yourself.

For my weight exercises I was able to move up from 2 lb to 3 lb weights. I know that doesn’t sound like much but they seem pleased with progress.

The therapists feel that my upper body strength is improving but combining the therapy does make for an exhausting afternoon.
