Pinky went to outpatient rehab today for about 2 hrs. The Physical Therapist evaluated her flexibility, and stretched out all of her muscles. She also gave us a set of exercises to perform at home to make sure that all muscles are excercised to keep her body in balance and make sure that the muscles that get used often don't overwhelm the muscles that are used infrequently. She perscribed a minimum of 5 minutes per hour of these exercises as well as 5 minutes of sitting up in bed balance exercises.
We talked to Minnie the Director of the rehab facility, former Colonel, and straight shooter. She gave us the useful tip of the day, "The bed is our emeny". Meaning, stay out of it as much as possible.After rehab we drove around Albuquerque for about an hour and a half sightseeing.
Reggie has begun to make friends with the Steve and Holly's dogs. This is a big step for him.
