Old Guy Hockey Return?

April 8, 2016

That’s the custom cane thanks to Bob Coco.     Even though I can hobble around without assistance, I have to say for the last 4 weeks the cane has been quite a conversation piece! As I’ve written in a…

PT today with a Twist that really made me think

I had PT this morning and after a very grueling but encouraging session I found out my Leg extensions are good. My angles are great …. from a sitting position I’m at 115 degrees (really good … going for 130) and because of my knee issues over the years this is a real good#. My knee was so messed up I don’t think I had 105 degrees before surgery…. SWEET!…
