I had my third session yesterday. I'm not doing weekly sessions but rather at longer intervals so I get more chance to do more exercise between sessions. It was actually two weeks since my last session and the next appointment won't be for three weeks as Fay (the physiotherapist) is taking a holiday.
And it's going quite well. I have about a dozen exercises to do twice a day at home and they are getting harder after each session with Fay. Yesterday she asked me to get some ankle weights to use at home and that feels serious! It may feel daunting when they arrive. She's been impressed with the things I have been doing for years to try and keep myself functionally fit.
I am beginning to feel the benefit of my efforts. I was sitting on a rather low sofa a couple of days ago and I got up fairly easily.
But I still haven't tackled the biggest challenge - getting up from the floor! Maybe by the end of my course . . .
