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.
