@babette It almost sounds as if we have the same doctor, but I never got daily instructions on exercise. He said to do my recumbent bike five days a week, and take two consecutive days for rest, and he was a big advocate for water jogging. These were both exercises that I was already doing so he was quite pleased with that.
He insisted on "gentle PT" which my home physical therapist did great with, but my outpatient PT had no idea what to do with me, that was a waste, unfortunately.
Dr. Fitz by any chance? If so did you go to Faulkner? That hospital was amazing, it was like being in a celebrity hospital, the food was actually pretty good!
