@mayofeb2020
Sounds to me like you've been doing quite a few exercises with the PT & chair exercises.
I'm ashamed to admit what a slouch I've been, although my jaw muscles get more exercise than what they need.
Don't overdo it.
Take care,
Jake

@mayofeb, Howling wind, rain and cold would certainly find me inside too! We had a sudden, incredible heavy ice storm for several days which not only cut electricity in many areas for hours on end but also caused a great deal of major tree, shrub and even roof damage throughout the city.

I have lived in my home nearly 50 years and this was the first time limbs from both my huge fruitless mulberry and plum trees actually were bent so far they touched the ground! Never witnessed anything like that before. Even more surprising was that after the thaw, the branches lifted back up and most surprising of all was that the leaves are still clinging to the trees. Usually after a hard freeze, the mulberry will shed all of its leaves in one incredible avalanche.

While neighbors across the street suffered a great deal of limb and even tree trunk splitting and one next door neighbor had a front yard of debris from fallen limbs from two oak trees, I was incredibly lucky to have only one large sycamore limb blown down on my drive which I was able to drag across to the yard. Tree services are telling friends that it will be another week or two before they can come to
repair and haul off the debris.

Hope your lower back and both legs are better. I was out-of-commission for six weeks with extreme neck, side, sciatica pain which made sitting for more than a few minutes impossible and hobbling inside the house and to the short end of our block and back a true feat. Standing and lying flat on my back on the floor with feet/legs elevated helped along with otc remedies, heating pads and hot epsom salt baths.

Did you have to have a doc's pt referral for the hip bursitis? Are you thinking that the pt made your bursitis worse?

I'm asking because a close friend in pt ff hip surgery kept getting accolades because of how well she was managing the pt. After a couple of weeks though, she began experiencing extreme pain in her groin and now thinks it was due to "overdoing and succeeding far too well with the pt". Wishing you back to being pain free quickly!!!

Oh, please don't be embarrassed. So sorry about your hip pain - have they thought about a cortisone injection? Limping from bursitis may have set off the pain in your back...
My walks on windy days are often short - or I may just pick some housework to do - because wind takes my breath away. My husband put an extra inhaler in my jacket pocket.
Today I will take my littles out to run and play for 30 minutes or so while Mom works from home (we don't do indoors together for safety reasons as SIL works in lots of places.) But tonight winter makes its ugly return with wind, sleet, "mixed precipitation" - translates to slippery.
We're hoping the big tree limb over our porch roof survives the winter - only one trimmer in the area will go up & take it down, and he's booked up.
So, if you don't walk, at least you stay active - you get credit for that!
