Okay, so what are these therapies and how did they help? Well, these therapies were to help me be able to live indepentent again. There were some that (PT = phyiscal therapy) to help me to walk again and to climb 26 stairs just to get to the apartment and another 13 to my room and YES! I did count them all when we first moved in. The neck massage and leg exercises are all under PT as well. I would explain those but the neck massage is explains itself but what they also would do is turn my neck to the right and left. The leg excerises is just something I would have to show you in person. OT (OT= ocupational therapy) was to make sure I got my range back and also the strength in my hands and arms. Speech is to help you make decisions and how to organize and mulit-task. I needed this at the beginning of my stay at Free Bed.
These did help me get my range back and I am still struggling with the strengthing thing but will come in time. And I am able to walk and climb those stairs. I had enough practice with stairs that made me wish I was actually home. I did practice that once I was walking well everyday. I think thats it for now.

Yuck! Doesn't sound like much fun! Are the stairs hard for you now? How many do you have to climb to get to your apartment...like 26 or something, right?? What are your range of motion limitations at this poin (i.e. can your move your head completely from side to side, raise your arms...that kind of stuff)
