Slow but not easy

Thanks for the advice, guys. This afternoon I went to one of the big Costco stores here with my wife. I threw my cane in the basket and trudged around hanging on to the basket’s handle. By the time we got back to the car I was exhausted. Once we were home I sank into a chair and fell asleep for an hour.

That was my exercise for today!

I know from my conversation with Neuro Doc #2 that muscle cells won’t fire if the muscle isn’t properly enervated. On the other hand they lose tone if not exercised. So I think I’m in a catch-22 (as well as a lot of us) as far as PT is concerned. I’ll not over-exert my bottom half, the affected part of me from GBS, but I’ll also continue to use my therabands to keep the upper half strong.

Thanks again for your good advice.
