LET'S GET PHYSICAL! PHYSICAL!

          Wow! Almost a month since I graced these pages 
with my precious words!  What HAVE I been doing? 

Well, once again I was facing physical therapy sessions
 to strengthen my legs
and my "CORE" (very important)
to help with my walking.
Now, without bragging, I have logged much time
 in physical therapy over the years, 
with arthritis plaguing my knees and my hips
 and my shoulders and my back.
If there was a Frequent Flyer Program for Physical Therapy,
I would be pumping iron (well, weakly pushing iron)
 around the planet!

ANYWAY, this winter, I started out like this, 
because sitting is my favorite position in life:


I was HORRIFIED at my first time to the
Physical Rehab Center
when I saw these machines--
like some MEDIEVAL TORTURE CHAMBER!
(I know I saw the original rack from the
Spanish Inquisition by the back wall)



But with constant encouragement from my cute Physical Therapist:

I moved on from this:


I was soon thrilled to be there every day...


.....that I was soon doing this:

And just couldn't stop--LOVE those machines now:

Even found myself streeeeeetching around the house:


AND I'VE ONLY BEEN GOING 
TO THIS ROUND OF THERAPY
FOR A FEW WEEKS!!!
