I'd be interested in those exercises to do in bed. Is it worth, I wonder, starting a new thread specifically on that topic????

@ajh5285, great idea. Yes, @dortj please start a new discussion about exercises in bed.

Here they are:
1. Clasp your hands over your head. Swing them down toward your knees.
2. Extend arms against torso on bed, thumbs up. Raise and lower arm, keeping it straight. Do with other arm.
3. Extend legs straight on bed. Alternately raise and lower.
4. Raise and lower one arm and alternate leg, then the other pair. Alternate the pairs.
5 .Hands clasped under head, elbows extended out. Raise and lower head and elbows.
6. Outstretch arms. Bring bent knees to waist. alternate touching knees to the bed on your right and left. Next, open bent knees at hips and continue touching knees to the bed
7. Lie flat. Raise straight legs over your head. When this gets too difficult, raise one leg at a time.
8 .Hold your knees to your chest, Arms hug your knees. roll toward your head.
9. Circle feet in four ways: to wall, toward head, right, and left. At the same time, move hands in different ways: forward-and-back fist toward wall, open fingers wide toward head, circular fist to right, and open-and-close fist to the left. on the movements.
The therapist started me on 10 repetitions and told me to increase them and the oomph I used, gradually. After several months, I'm up to 50 reps. Takes about 20 minutes and willingness to be utterly bored!. Hope this helps your agility. Let me know if I can clarify anything.
