HI LORI
I EMPATHIZE....
I'VE HAD 3 MAJOR SURGERIES IN LAST 7 YEARS, WITH MINOR PROCEDURES IN BE TWEEN. (OPEN HEART, SPINAL FUSION, UTERINE CANCER AND MORE)..
STARTED PT AFTER COVID HIT, AND MEDICAL STUFF WAS DELAYED EVERYWHERE. WOULD START PT THEN HAVE TO STOP. ESSENTIALLY IN AND OUT OF REHAB IN BETWEEN (SIGH).

I HAVEN'T WALKED MORE THAN 20 FEET AT A TIME ON MY OWN IN MANY YEARS UP UNTIL RECENT ROUND OF PT WHERE I'VE DONE 100 FEET. HAVE TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME SITTING IN RECLINING CHAIR, GOING NOWHERE. BUT AT LEAST I'M HOME. NOW HAVE A COUPLE MORE 'PROCEDURES' LINED UP. A PROEDURE MEANS THEY DON[T EXPECT YOU TO STAY IN HOSPITAL AFTER WHATEVER MAGICAL SURGERY THEY'RE PERFORMING .

AS A FRIEND OF MINE SAID 'GETTING OLD ISN'T FOR SISSIES!".
HANG IN THERE...BETTER DAYS AHEAD...
