Rehab -- 1/24/01 After a short stint back at work, I headed off to the first of my physical therapy sessions. Griff turned out to be a real cool, personable guy. He started by taking size measurements flexibility of each leg to see how much work was ahead. I was then given a stretchy rubberband-like device to work my foot in all directions. Did some leg presses, leg extensions, scissors-type reps with foot weights, and the like. I also did this really weird device that was like a rounded platter with a half-sphere attached below, used more to regain foot control and mobility than anything else (vaguely reminded me of an Indo-board). After an hour, I gathered my stuff and headed back to work. It was a good feeling to officially be on the comeback trail. I'm excited. |
