Loong, I am so sorry to hear about your terrifying encounter. I hope you are mending, and I have said a prayer for you.

You are very strong willed to go out and walk a mile. I'm glad you are able to.

Dear Terri,

Walked another mile today.Feeling great ,weather was sunny.We had not had sun for more than 10 days.

Way to go Loong. You are doing great with your recovery.

Hi everyone. I am really getting tired of the cast on my left arm. My body is telling me it needs some movement. Today I worked around the house and outside the best I can. I have to stop and rest frequently.

This evening a did a combo Pilates and yoga on my bed. These were poses on my back and a few seated with my back supported by the headboard. I kept my cast on for all exercises.

I don't have a plan for tomorrow yet but I'll get there.

Hi everyone. Tonight I rode the recumbent bike for 20 min. I was trying to read my Kindle and didn't pay much attention to the heart rate. However, when I finished I was a little out of breath.

Next I did some yoga. I found that I was able to do a lot of my normal routine on my mat on the floor. I will continue to modify it as I go.

Today I went to doctor. He told me 2 more weeks in the sling; but don't use your arm after you take it off. What's up with that???

Dear Terri,
Walked 2 hours ,no cane.Took a good bath this morning to help my knees and hips.

You two are formidable. I greatly admire your determination and strength under adversity.

Loong, you are so brave. You seem to be on the healing path. You are smart to be kind to those knees.

Hi everyone. Tonight I rode my recumbent bike for 30 minutes. It went by quickly because I was looking at my tarot cards. I checked my heart rate and was riding at a nice comfortable pace within my training zone.

I had PT today. Here are some of the things I do at PT:
--I use green silly putty, which is medium, to do exercises for my wrists & forearms.
--I use small dumbbells and do more exercises for wrists & forearms. Today I was moved up to 2 lbs.
--Next I do a series of neck releases; shoulder shrugs, & shoulder squeezes.
--Then I do 2 exercises called "the pendulum" for 2 min each.
--I do 3 different exercises using pulleys for 2 min each. These exercises are for range of motion and I have good range of motion most days.

Then they taped both shoulders for stabilization. I choose the fluorescent green tape. So pretty!
