Don't Stand Up

My old motto used to be - don't stand if you can sit down - don't sit down if you and lay (lie?) down. (I feel a teacher flip over in her grave).

My latest Physical Therapist, Alex, certainly has turned that idea on its head. Up, up, and away. Use bed only for afternoon naps and night. Get into that wheelchair, over to that rocker, now go, go - use that walker. He is only here 45 min. or so. The effects of his visits are timeless. I know this is up to my body, the swelling in my brain and, yes, my attitude. He tells me it is normal to have good days and bad.

Today was a good day!!
