Today at PT, my walking poles were finally delivered to the PT team office. I used them for the first time today.... My PT team hasn't cleared me to use them yet to go on unsupervised walks, while outside in the 'community' (ie, to go get mail, or to go on my own to any appt outside of PT). BUT, by Friday, after a couple days of practicing with them at home, they will clear me to use them on my own.
I bicycled on the cycling machine for twenty minutes at level 6.
I used the Arm machine to increase my core strength for 10 minutes, rather than 8 minutes. I was shadow supervised while walking up and down stairs in our PT building, but I'm shakey so we will keep building my core strength to handle three flights of stairs here at home.
I have padded, fingerless cycling gloves which I will use while walking with my new walking poles, so I don't get blisters on the palms of my hands..... from now on.
All in all, I had a remarkable session at PT today!
