- I am leaving Denver today after a long weekend visit.. What a beautiful state. My stepson said it was hot, but for us easterners, there’s the “but there’s no humidity!” But I’ll tell you that I felt the impact of the altitude difference not only in breathing, but in leg weight and muscles. Of course, some of it could be psychological, fear of change, or the extra extra extra activity my legs got traipsing along with my walker through the Denver and other airports, as well as the Rockies stadium.

I am afraid to check if any insurance changes that Barb mentions impact me for my occasional PT. You put things so perfectly- the guidance the therapists give us builds confidence and security which is a good part of our need to get through this. I know your sepsis threw you a big monkey wrench, and I hope our insurance companies don’t make it harder on us, when the effort we’re putting in this should only help reduce costs of medical care we’d need from terrible falls if we didn’t do our best to stay strong!

Hello, Debbie! (@dbeshears1)

I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Denver. As an unreconstructed, on-and-off seriously homesick New Yorker, I know what you mean about Rocky Mountain weather and its lack of coastal humidity. I doubt I’ll ever forget what it was like when I was a child growing up in a second-floor walk-up without a.c. ––I can’t even recall if there was a fan in my alley-side bedroom––spread-eagled on a wet sheet and sweating like a pig who’d just finished running a 10K. Sweet memories, not. 🙂

As we speak (figuratively speaking?), I’m waiting for a phone call to tell me yes or no about an insurance extension, so I might get some coaching on learning how to walk in shoes. It’s been 156 (or 158?) days since I last wore shoes. I need a trained PT person to guide me through the fundamentals. Lesson No. 1: How to Tie Your Shoelaces. 🙂

Cheers!
