Physical therapy

"Maybe that's why I want to touch people so often --- it's only another way of talking." Georgia O'Keefe

Physical therapy involves touching people.  I have taken Dwane to see the physical therapist for the last several weeks:  to help with his stooping posture, to help him get out of bed independently, to help him get out of chairs on his own, and to do exercises which relief his back pain (caused by deteriorating lower discs for which he has had 3 surgeries).  Justin, the PT, is a delightful young man who believes that he can help Dwane a lot.  I hope so.  My observations are that it is harder and harder for Dwane to get out of chairs and to walk truly upright.  It will be wonderful if the physical therapy does help him remain active and independent.
