It was a good day for Joan. She is improving with her therapist's, Bartosz, help. When she started, the first exercise was to stand up from her wheelchair and she did it 25 times. Now. she is up to 25, 3 times a day.
The second exercise was, using her walker in front of her, raising each leg's knee to the crossbar of the walker. It was difficult in the beginning. She could barely do 5 reps on each leg. It may not sound like much, but you're not in her condition. Now she is doing 15 reps on each leg.
The thing he is working on is to get her to take one longer step, one at a time, with each foot. She has been taking one small step but quickly makes the second step on the other leg.
I had to go to the clinic today to get a lab referral from the home doctor. To my surprise, there is a new "teenage" doctor. not really a teenager, maybe 28-29 years old. It only took 5 minutes to get the referral and I will go tomorrow for the blood test. It's for a PSA test that I have every 6 months. The reason I do it is because I had prostate cancer.
To by艂 dobry dzie艅 dla Joan. Z pomoc膮 terapeuty Bartosza jej stan si臋 poprawia. Kiedy zaczyna艂a, pierwszym 膰wiczeniem by艂o wstawanie z w贸zka inwalidzkiego i zrobi艂a to 25 razy. Teraz robi to 25 razy, 3 razy dziennie.
Drugie 膰wiczenie polega艂o na podnoszeniu kolana ka偶dej nogi do poprzeczki chodzika. Na pocz膮tku by艂o to trudne. Ledwo mog艂a wykona膰 5 powt贸rze艅 na ka偶d膮 nog臋. Mo偶e to nie wydawa膰 si臋 du偶o, ale nie jeste艣 w jej kondycji. Teraz robi 15 powt贸rze艅 na ka偶d膮 nog臋.
Wsp贸ln膮 rzecz膮, nad kt贸r膮 Bartosz pracuje, jest sk艂onienie jej do zrobienia jednego d艂u偶szego kroku, po jednym na raz, ka偶d膮 stop膮. Do tej pory robi艂a jeden ma艂y krok, ale szybko stawia艂a nast臋pny krok drug膮 nog膮.
Dzisiaj musia艂em uda膰 si臋 do kliniki, aby uzyska膰 od lekarza domowego skierowanie na badania laboratoryjne. Ku mojemu zaskoczeniu, jest tam nowy "nastoletni" lekarz. Tak naprawd臋 nie nastolatek, mo偶e 28-29. letni. Za艂atwienie skierowania zaj臋艂o tylko 5 minut i jutro id臋 na badanie krwi. Chodzi o badanie PSA, kt贸re wykonuj臋 co 6 miesi臋cy. Robi臋 to, poniewa偶 mia艂em raka prostaty.
