Hello all. I’m back from an exercise class run by my physio.

She has started a weekly yoga/stretch session for crocks like me to try and get us moving better. At 53, I’m the youngest by quite a way [emoji849] It was quite fun, a lot of giggling, but there’s no shirking because she notices as soon as we’re not doing things properly.

I’m quite tired now, but hopefully it will make me feel better in the long run :)

I hear ya! [emoji2] I started physio back in my 40s, and am just finishing another round. I think the only part of my body that hasn’t required physiotherapy is my nose...(knocks wood) [emoji2][emoji106]

That’s me ... neck to toes! I started in my 30s and had my operations by way of celebrating my 40th birthday (easy to remember the year [emoji849])

I now get by with maintenance visits with occasional flare ups like I have now.

WOW! Any idea why you have such trouble? [emoji15]

My physio told me today that she thinks I’m put together wrong [emoji23] It’s just as well I have known her so long :D

It’s almost certainly a hereditary issue caused in part by my height. I’m 5’11” ... or was before my ops... and was always lanky when I was younger.

My 6’4” dad had problems with his back throughout his life and walked with a pronounced stoop, unable to straighten his legs properly, in his later years (He was only only 67 when he died of a brain haemorrhage)

My 6’6” son has been seeing the physio on and off since he was about 10. (11 years) There was a clear kink in his spine when I first took him although he wasn’t in pain. The physio says he treats very easily now and has said that she thinks I wouldn’t have had the problems if I had been able to access treatment at the same age as he did. I am so glad I took him. First and foremost in my mind was that I didn’t want son to end up like me and my Dad.

Hopefully.
Blimey, you certainly do seem to keep busy. :)
It makes me quite exhausted following your life.
I am starting to look like my sofa.

My nose is constantly getting biffed. :(
I probably need a rhino-physiotherapist.

67 is far too young nowadays.
Pronounced 'stup'. ;)

Goodness! It sure does sound hereditary- you did well by your son! :):<3:

Continued good news from the vet! :)
I just got my morning update.
She is floating MUCH better and is not nearly so front-heavy!!! :):):):)
She poops and passes urates in her float water. :rolleyes:
She is tube fed every other day and tolerates it well.
She has no issues at the injection sites.

Since she's improving, they are going to continue the current treatment and barring anything unusual, she should come home on the 6th!
