Therapy has a meaning and has two sides to it.


       Noble work of Connie in doing her PT today.  Concentration of efffort, in sitting, standing, exercising legs, working with a walker, under the tutelage of skilled physical therapist.

       Words, demonstations by therapist, "no"s, "yes"es, "goods," Connie copying, putting foot forward 'stead of backward, then catching the placement being requested, missing, "no," "that's it, yes"; resting between efforts just sitting, breathing, "in nose, out the mouth." "Stand, now we'll walk outside, down to the mailbox," negotiating the two stairs, exact movements for balance, safety, security.

       Therapist, to us all:  "She did good today!"
