Ready for a marathon...not quite, but getting there

The Mom update for the last few weeks of March...she has graduated from Home Care and is now beginning Out-patient Physical Therapy! Her initial therapist is a 74 year old man!! She says that it is bad when the PT treating you is having a harder time moving than the patient is!!
Beginning tomorrow, she is joining a knee class at therapy and the PT in charge of the class (a younger one than her original) said she is going to put some of those patients to shame!! She is doing that well!! To quote her..."Imagine me...being the top of the class in anything athletic." I tried to tell her that I would not count PT sessions as athletic, but that they were physical. She was happy enough with that statement.
She walks around the house without her cane and made it today around the block!! She anticipates returning to her home the first weekend in May! So get ready you West coast family and friends...she'll be coming home!!!

I love that you are planning on kicking some bootie in your knee class, Mom! Now I know for sure where my husband gets his competitive spirit! All our best for a successful home stretch in your recovery.

love, love, love,
