Hi,
I went to a physiotherapist who is also a personal trainer yesterday. I was hoping to be assessed and given some exercises to maintain/improve my mobility.
Well, I was assessed and he gave me some exercises based on my capabilities. It made me realize just how disabled I am. He asked me to do 5 leg raises on each leg and spread it over the course of a day so as not to tire myself out, to stand from sitting 10 times throughout the day and walk 20 meters twice a day!
He said it would be appropriate for me to get a wheelchair for times when I need to leave the house. He also told me that nothing he suggests is going to improve mobility, it will just, hopefully, prevent muscle wasting.
I have been depressed ever since my visit.
Do we ever truly adjust to our situation? Or, like me, do you deep down think this is just a temporary glitch and tomorrow you'll wake up and it's all been just a nightmare?
Regards
