Good morning, Susan

I may have made my "classes" sound too formal. I began with a balance workshop at the local YMCA. That workshop, unfortunately, came to an end when COVID came along. Homebound, I tried a few online balance programs, settling on one and sticking with it for more than a year. (That program is no longer online.) Once the COVID restrictions were lifted, my PCP referred me to a nearby PT clinic. I stuck with them until I felt I'd exhausted all the benefit I might get. It was shortly after that I developed a sepsis infection (a year and a half ago), which––if the infection has proven to be of any "use" to me––has resulted in covered at-home PT. I'm still doing at-home PT (plus loys of impromptu balance work in my "free time"). As you might see, my "classes" have been a patchwork from the very beginning.

Cheers!
