Yesterday, I passed the three-month milestone for my knee replacement surgery. And today, I was officially released from physical therapy! Hooray, no more torture sessions! My therapist did a good job in getting my knee back into shape, and now I am on my own for further rehabilitation. The center had become somewhat of a second home after countless visits, so I said “farewell” to the dear old place and the sweet memories left behind!
I will be missing this foot exercise machine at the therapy center immensely. Ahhh!

And, this device has gotten me back into shape for plowing the garden next spring with the mule.
This one helped stretch out me out and keep me limber during each therapy session.
I saw several patients who used this apparatus to build their upper body strength. (Hint: The less you weighed, the easier it was.)
The physical therapists were attentive while patients did their workouts and were always ready to crank the settings up a notch.
This machine was used for rehabilitating male patients with some type of affliction. Um, enough said…
And, I never had the courage to ask about the purpose of this exercise contraption. However, I did notice a manufacture nameplate on it that said “IRS”.

Good for you! Soon you will be back to traveling and posting beautiful pictures! Those old exercise machines are hilarious and even funnier is the way they are dressed to work out!
ReplyDeleteHope you wore your Sunday best to workout like The people in the Pictures!
ReplyDeleteThose photos make me cringe....They look torturous!
Glad you are free of your "sessions" and can continue along at home.
Think of you often
Congrats to you! I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly!

Thanks for popping in to see my Dust Storm photos...they are predicting more for us for tomorrow, but since most of the dust has been transplanted already, then it shouldn't be quite so bad!
