When I was released from rehab, here, I thought I was done with rehab...period.  I had not played well with the therapist's.  I argued that my legs were longer than most and the equipment was too short for the distance built from foot to knee.  They just kind of continued, forcing me to walk when I couldn't even stand.  I just shut down from trying to do their exercises. They released me.  I moved in.

Last week a new rehab lady came in and wondered if we could try some new rehab.  "Sure."  With a flat, polished board.

 She has taught me how to transfer from chair-to-chair, bed-to chair--flat surfaces like and today, she put me in a standing apparatus and not only did I stand and sort playing cards---I stood for 8 minutes.  I feel renewed --emotionally.
