The Road Back, Cane Edition

It's been three weeks since the big crash. A painful three weeks. The good news is I'm up and about and can walk unaided for most of the day. After a long day though, I do tire more easily than before, and use a cane (no more walker!) if required.

Physical therapy is going well, generally consisting of

• stationary bike
• arm bike
• treadmill, forward/backward/side to side
• inclined platform (for the legs, resembles the 'Total Gym')
• movements to get the elbow back to full extension
• range of motion tests
• specific lower abdominal exercises for pelvic stability

I've also been using my mountain bike at home on the trainer, however, for comfort, that usually requires a lean forward. At present, I'm not placing any weight on my left arm. Thus, time on the trainer is somewhat limited at this point.

And so it goes.
