I started back at PT a week ago this Monday.  I can really start to feel the progress.  My back is more sore than normal in areas that I were able to feel previously.  I did new exercises where I was on my hands and knees and then extended my arms and legs outward.  This was very difficult but I could feel the core muscles engaging.   I’m also working on the Total Gym piece of equipment where I am performing squats on an incline. On this particular machine the resistance comes from my own body weight.   I remember the first time I used that machine… I had to be helped into it and my cousin Raymond actually had to pick me up out of the machine because I had no strength in my legs to maneuver on my own.

Today, we practiced stepping up and stepping down.  There is progress here as well.  Although the process is still “rough” it is still much better than when I attempted this previously.

I am so glad that God loves me and has promised to never stop doing me good……

Jeremiah 32: 40-41 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good but I will put my fear in their hearts so they will not depart from me.  Yes I will rejoice over them to do them good and I will assuredly plant them in this land……
