Vacation and PT

For those who don’t know, my wife and I went on vacation with her family a few weeks ago to North Myrtle Beach.  The family was sharing a house near the beach, which is how we were able to afford going down there.  Well, I was pretty upset, at first, to find out that my wheelchair did not fit through the interior doors of the house.  So, once inside, I had to use my walker to get around in most instances.  Like I said, at first I was upset about this.  As I had a chance to think about it; however, it occurred to me that ultimately, this was a good thing.  In addition to being a fun vacation, this was going to be a week-long PT session.  Well, Tuesday’s PT session was the first chance that I had to see what kind of effect that extended vacation PT had…and I KILLED IT.  I had an incredible session, setting several new records for myself and coming away very happy.  Today, at my Thursday afternoon session, that trend only continued, with me setting a pretty intense new record for me on the Nu-Step machine. (it looks like a reclined stepper, sort of)  

I’ve got a lot of stuff coming up over the horizon, and most of it requires a good bit of walking (and pretty highly controlled walking, at that), so I’m pretty excited about the progress that I’ve been making at PT.  I’m overdue for a walking video, so I suppose I’ll have to record one soon.  :)
