@darlingtondoll, An increased risk of a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is very scary. Being a paraplegic is very limiting as far as exercises go. Do your doctors recommend an exercise someone can do to help decrease the risk? You may be able to get help with a physical therapist provided by home care. The home care service should be free of charge depending on your health insurance. You can always ask the home care agency or the health insurance company about any charges you would be responsible for. The physical therapist would come to you. Once the restrictions from this coronavirus pandemic are lifted perhaps you can look further into getting more help. You would call your doctor’s office for the home care order and provide the fax number of the home care agency you prefer. If not your doctor’s office will pick one for you to fax the order to. I just recently was admitted to home health care. I selected my home health care agency best for me. Remember it is the patient’s choice, not the doctor’s. A physical therapist came to my home and provided exercises to help me improve my balance. I am thinking of you. It is up to you to find the help that works best for you. I still find new ways. It may take effort to get the information but that does not stop me. Hope this gives you more ideas. Good luck!
