Granny's gone and done it again

@microchick, I know you are right. Even with the "workouts" that I do, I'm not getting any aerobics. As was evident yesterday. Just that little bit of being out and about wore me out! Getting in and out of the car several times. Using public restrooms. Getting up and down for x-rays. Does not sound like much, but whew! :th By the end of the day I passed out. Even though DH does all the work! Getting the wheelchair in and out of the car. Pushing me here and there. He's the one who should be exhausted! But he comes home and mows for an hour! :eek: He's amazing.
Wow! That’s great he was able to mow!

Y'all, I have not just been sitting here like a lump all this time turning into jelly! I am active all the time! I remember and do all the exercises my PT gave me before. I don't want to get a blood clot for sure! I do leg lifts with both legs. I do bending ones with my right leg. All kinds of ankle exercises. Sit ups and crunches. I have 2 and 3# weights that I lift to strengthen my arms. I work out all day long, off and on (between naps). I just need to strengthen my arms to hold my weight on the walker, which I haven't been doing (much, lol).
You do sit ups and crunches!? :ep

You are better than me LOL
 
I'm allergic to lemon, so personally It made me feel itchy 😆 🤣
It breaks my skin out but I can drink lemonaid.
After I was on "modified bed rest" with a 1 lb weight limit for 4 months, then 2 weeks of complete bedrest and major surgery, I asked for PT and they said I didnt need it!! 😩 I found an online program for a PT woman i like, she has private videos on YouTube to follow and then you can fb message in a private page for questions and encouragement. It helped me alot. Things that used to be simple were so hard, i started by just walking, working up to an hour a day at a brisk pace, which took me 4 months to get there. I was shocked by how long it took me to recover, even working hard at it! I seemed to get winded or my heart working overtime, or injured just so much easier than ever before. Its now been 2 years and I'm still not 100% back. 😮‍💨
What kind of surgery had you laid up for so long?
