I've fallen down the stairs several times these past few years. But, I count
my blessings I'm able to go down the stairs. My hips are constantly bruised
where I fall into things, but I am so lucky I am walking there in the first
place. My PT gets aggrevated at me for doing too much, and my i
You know, on my last job we had a lot of stem cell transplants for Cancer.
They only came to my unit when there were complications. I know there is a lot
of hope held out for this treatment, but some of the things I have seen with
the complications have been horrible. When it doesn't work qu
My therapist says to stretch s l o w l y, and never until you feel too tired
in that area.If so, stop. But, I agree it is hard to tell and I can
understand
how stretching can be overdone before you know it.

Please, friends;
For some of us this is the only refuge wherein we can deal honestly with our
frustrations, our isolation and our sense of hopelessness from what has
taken over our bodies. Those who before, we had considered friends and
family, have long since taken their leave of us.
We must un
'how will i know if i
have overstretched until i have done it?'
Actually, I think this is a valid question! I know I need to still
stretch, but I'm slightly paranoid about injuring myself again, as I had
no idea, even, when I over-did it the first time! If anyone has an
answer, please tell us!
ignore this if it sounds to pessimestic.
not over stretching sounds a lot like i need to take the medicine right before
the pain starts for best results.
how am i going to know when the pain is going to start just as how will i know
if i have overstretched until i have done it?
my best remedy

Thanks for the worming, Sally. I have a habit of thinking if a little is
good a lot is even better. I will certainly watch it from now on.

Who's talking about happiness?
As the song goes " you can't always get what you want, but if you try
sometimes, you might find , you get what you need"
I know what I need: to walk. Need number two: money.
Money can't buy you happiness, we just want our LIFE back.

Interesting to read these last two emails, as it reminded me of how I
injured myself last summer by overstretching, but not by the same kind of
accident as did Wim! I didn't even know I'd done it! We stretch to help
manage the spacticity, right. Well, I finally went to a podiatrist when

I too had a bad fall, when I was trying to sit on the floor.
I was trying a new short cut, going from standing with my walker to straight to
the floor without sitting in a chair first & then going down to the floor. So
don't try this at home or anywhere else. lol
I let my chiropractor know that
I had a hamstring problem too. Therapists had me doing lots of stretching and
I am back to normal (if you can call TM normal) now.Good luck
with it.Spain sounds like a great cure!Tell us about the trip when you
get back.

Normaly I could say, just fine, not better or worse. After all this time it was
very study. But last summer I overstreched my hamstrings by a fall. A very

slide from the bed. I jused after that time my wheelc
