[TMIC] Returns
I am getting a lot of little returns from my (recently begun) in-home pt. She manipulates my legs, not for long, but since her ministrations I've begun to feel what she does as she does it and affirmingly() but uncomfortably(!!!) I have a loud buzzing in my feet thrumming in my legs and my legs fly off the wheelchair several to many times a day. We are now trying to figure out how to keep my legs on the wheelchair. Also I can now feel a most of the time my leg comes off the wheelchair. She gave me a series of upper body with weights to perform. I feel the signal go down my leg when i do these. Which affirms my belief that if i had money, I'd be walking. I was and am unable to buy thorough therapy for myelf. I ran into a great physiatrist last year who prescribed this for me, knowing there's no paratransit here for me to get to go anywhere with any regularity. This is the first pt that has worked on my legs--- no one has touched my legs, other than myself for five years. She keeps thinking of ways for me to stand. I told her about the unaffordable standers Easy Stand, and the Gait harness which let paraplegics stand and walk and there is the REdman Power Chair, so if anyone is in touch with those millionaire shows, tell them i would like one of these devices to improve my health and help me stand and walk and perhaps walk, again.

RE: [TMIC] Returns
I know several millionaires who would not agree with you - if money could buy ability to walk, they would all be walking without aid of wheelchairs. When I had to learn to walk again and was released from the hospital in Minnesota to return to care in California, I could not get the new neuro to write RX for P.T. stating they will deny it, so why bother. If I knew then (exactly 14 years ago December 30) I would have fought more for it. Instead, I was able to get a friend in the medical field to give me 3 months' physical therapy, I learned all the exercises at home, and after a year, regained ability to walk, and a lot of my balance. Sorry, but sometimes it takes tenacity.
