It does sound intriguing. However closest Mayo Clinic to me is Phoenix. I would have to fly. I have just transitioned from a walker to walking with a cane. I don't think I could do this alone. As for a virtual visit I do not have the technical knowledge to do this. After 7 weeks of physical therapy, I am noticing quite an improvement. I am also starting therapy for my grief over losing my husband. These two hits have left me in a bad place. So now one is improving and hopefully the second one will as well.

I understand, Marilyn. FYI, virtual visits can simply be phone visits. Just wanted to let you know.

I’m delighted to hear that physical therapy is making quite a difference. It takes discipline to stick with physical therapy. Sometimes the exercises they give you to do at home seem so simple that they can’t possibly help, but sticking to it is key. I had frozen shoulder once and just hated not being able to have full range of motion of my arm. I was bound and determined to get better. It took almost a year of diligently doing regular PT exercises, but I did it. Are you disciplined by nature or is it a slog for you?
