I’m with you. Somehow PT helped me stand again, which is nice in the shower, with a safety bar of course. Walking again wouldn’t have happened without leg strengthening. PT has helped me to smartly keep as fit as possible for the most basic of life functions…squatting to sit/stand, reaching for things, putting on shoes & socks, and picking things up off the floor. That includes picking myself up off the floor! We occasionally put myself on the floor and figure best methods of me getting up by myself - and you do need upper body strength for that. I could go on and on, but I will add PT has been my best friend dealing with PN.
