Baby Steps

We had a visit from Jen’s in home physical therapist today. In addition to demonstrating the exercises they will do to strengthen her legs and core, Bobby gave Jen two rules to live by: “No BLT (bending, lifting, or twisting), and “Walk, Walk, Walk.”

Bobby explained that for every day Jen spent in the hospital, “it will take two to three days of therapy to recover.” He also emphasized that of all the work they will do for Jen’s recovery, walking is the single most important part.

Though she really tried, Jen could not get ahead of the pain today so incorporating the PT routine was challenging.

Baby steps. One day at a time…
