I've now finished the first month of physio and also filled up the first exercise card. On Friday I got my new program - a kind of second gear where I have to increase the intensity all around.
The program now consists of more repetitions, slightly heavier weights and faster on the treadmill. None of this is going to turn me into a Schwarzenegger or a triathelete but it does feel good to be making progress.
The physiotherapists have also persuaded me to try a walker for a week to see if it helps. Up to now I have resisted getting one but they do have advantages. I can walk farther, it has a basket to take my oxygen bottles and it has a seat. Apart from the hassle of folding it into the car it does mean that I could get to places I might otherwise avoid such as a waterfront concert or a longer walk in a park.
