The future is looking good! Yesterday was the first time to step off curb unaided! It was just after the PT work-out, the ice and muscle massage so I can't say the cane is history yet but what a freedom.! The outpatient PT is just what was needed along with all the tips and sharing here.

    It makes me smile our little accomplishments that we make that only we understand! I rode the stationary bike at pt yesterday and first time since surgery (5 1/2 weeks) I was able to pedal all the way around and peddled for 15 mins! I was so excited! lol. Congratulations on your accomplishment Marge! Keep up the good work!
