@fieryrn I agree with everything @loribmt has said. Now, from the point of view of someone who still hasn’t fully recovered from her disease, ill tell you what i do. Unfortunately, the prednisone I’ve been on for 3 1/2 years really hit me hard and i felt like i got osteoporosis overnight. I just started going to a personal trainer at the recreation center. I wanted specific instructions on strength and resistance exercises and safe ways to move my body. He was very good! I think one more meeting and then I’m on my own.
You’ve said that you’re a nurse in L n D. (I was an oncology nurse) That in itself can be exhausting and hard on your body. You need to learn how to twist, turn, bend and move heavy patients .
Can someone in the PT department do a safety assessment while you are working?
