We went to the outpatient therapy session this morning. It was interesting; we were a sight going in. Me pushing Mom and carrying her walker, it’s a good thing Mom can help steer her own wheel chair. Mom is getting stronger, but she still has a long way to go. The therapist evaluated her to see what she needed and how far she had came since leaving the hospital.
Before going to the session, we walked from our driveway up to the corner of Bruce and back. We must be a sight. Me pushing Mom in the wheel chair down the driveway, parking her under the stone pine tree and then going back for the walker. When I get the walker back down to her, then I put the Gaite belt around her and we walk up the corner of Bracken and Bruce, then back again one or two times. The number of times we walk in the morning depends on how early we get started and how long it takes Mom to get tired.
Today the therapist gave us some exercises he wants Mom to do. Only one of the exercises was different from what she already does. He gave her a different exercise to do in bed, then those she already knows. The goal of the exercises demonstrated today is at least thirty times in one session. Two of those she has to work toward, but the other two she already does thirty times in one session.
