Barbie This is for arms, lying down or standing here are 3 with the band. Hand in loop one end, other end and other hand at end of band and on left hip. Toss right hand from left to right over shoulder, repeat 10 times. Then left hand on right hip, toss hand over right shoulder, repeat 10 times. Last one right hand in loop…

pjsattic Rehab sent me home with 2 yellow stretchable bands for use with arms. A home care outfit left me some exercises. Also said do one high energy then do light exercise. You are right and everyone be sure to get exercises OK'd by Therapist/Doctors. FIRST sign of a pain that you do not recognize, stop and check with…

:blushing: I was in the wrong place. Just found this today. Still working on my crazy meals and naming the exercises. My home care physical therapist will start tomorrow (Tuesday) for 2x's a week. Got to use the pedal exerciser in the evaluation. Catching up on these posts now. I'm OK and thanks for asking :bigsmile: Liz

That is what I was allowed to use today. But my OT helped me to chair next to bed. I cannot walk but can slide my feet. Have to have total help to stand and cannot stand alone. I love the pedal thingee at least it feels like fun. Will check and see what I can find out about it next Tuesday when my next time is here. Did 5…

One thing that helped me. Leave the database line blank. click on the search button and the entire database list will come up. I went through the list 2 times to help my memory some. Things like Gv meaning I think like "generic" and the companies like Walmart have some items there and so do others. Found out sometimes just…

Love your ID... Sorta "hits the nail on the head"! Thanks for the kind words. We are all working for the same thing just from different directions and different needs. The calorie counter here is worth its weight in gold. This was what has stopped me in the past, trying to count calories and the rest and never feeling I…

To show current likeness I put up a picture. But cannot look at that one as I do not recognize that old lady and the husband with diabetes II. The one up now is from 1975 when we were 44. This is the way I feel in my head. Anyone else feel that way?

Trying to make up my exercises and need to delete the whole mess! I highlight my exercise, hit delete, says deleted but does not go away. I need to start over with some advice. Just saw the bit about needing just the name. Like: Bed - Heel Slide would be enough. BUT need to delete about 7 or 8 of my own???? Liz

Thank you all for the Welcome! I do love this site. Counting calories has stopped me before and this has made it easy. Big problem trying to invent my bed exercises. I do 10 leg sets *total 5 sets but each leg separate. I do 6 arm sets *total 3 sets but each arm separate. Not right yet... It takes about 40 min to do them…

:flowerforyou: Just lost my post..... hit wrong key. Not quite finished so if any questions you can ask me?? You guys have really wound me up!! Will not sleep tonight. That leas to my funny sleep patterns. We live with our daughter. She took an evening job so she could haul us to appoints. Husband helps with Horse and…

I may have misread something but it appears you would like to lose 1 lb a day. This is 1st or 2nd day? First thing do not even look at weighting but ONE time a WEEK. Aim for 2 lbs or less a WEEK. I know it looks slow but to fast comes back to fast. A good solid 1 or 2 lbs a week will stay off as long as we work at it. I…

Good to know that could help. I cannot find the exercises I do in the database. They are bed lying down and I have a routine of 10 leg and 6 arms. Some picked up from home health care and the arms from Rehab. Hoping to get help entering the ones below correctly? Arms help with typing fingers! LOL all that stretching.…
