There really hasn’t been a lot going on this week. Mom worked SUPER hard on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday she did her longest walk with the therapist. She did practially a lap and a half around the kitchen! Everyone was thrilled for her. She kept that momentum going and ended up doing squats and sit to stand exercises later that evening. As it turned out, that was a wee bit too much for her. She has pretty much been laid up all week in recovery mode. Lots of knee pain and weak legs. We’re limiting her to standing for a few minutes every couple of hours and only if she can tolerate it. I told her that we’re mandating lots of rest this weekend so that she can resume her therapy with more intensity next week.
Keep her in your prayers that she does recover quickly and will come back stronger than ever! I know she’s frustrated and wants to resume her walking. She’s getting antsy and it’s really hard not being able to continue with forward motion. Temporary setbacks are so annoying!
