I try so very hard to find answers to my problems. I’m sure that my mental state has been a big problem, but after these past 6 years, I’m truly ready to make myself exercise more and get back to the way I felt years ago while doing daily physical therapy. I have been guilty of feeling sorry for myself and instead of getting up and making myself move, I often became a couch potato. Like I told you before, I’m much older than you, so I’m happy to share one very important piece of advice. Always remember things could be worse. Sounds to me like no matter how difficult a situation is, physical therapy can make a big difference. I got outside today and walked 7500 steps... with my cane. I’m exhausted tonight but my husband is so proud of me. He says I need to do this daily. He says he could see more optimism in my face today. I’ll admit I am proud of myself. I plan to go to a big grocery store tomorrow and push a cart until I get all of my steps. I’m willing to make a pact to try harder. I also looked at Vestibular exercises online today. I did try those back in 2018, but my vertigo was so bad then, it just increased my nausea. I’ll take another look at it and maybe it will be a possibility. Thanks for your suggestion. Let’s keep pushing forward.
