balance PT

Physical therapy went OK today. The therapist taught me a new exercise that should strengthen my hips, with the hope of both reducing pain and improving my balance, and sent me home with a piece of resistance band to use for that exercise. We also did some of the exercises from last week, but not all of them.

At the end of the session I asked about making more appointments, after the one I already had (for next week), and was surprised when the therapist said I probably won't need any more, because "those are the exercises." I did make one more, for the following week, because I can cancel the appointment if I don't need it, and this way I know I have an appointment at a time that works for me.

I'm trying to think of this as meaning I'm almost at my goal, but I'd thought there was more room for improvement, even given the underlying neurological problem.
