There are three centers for equilibrium. Kinesthetic, visual, and in the tubes of the inner ear. If one is impaired, like mine and Legg's, the individual must depend on the other two. Demanding that he do it with eyes closed is dangerous.
Normal is being able to stand on each foot for ten seconds.
And my typing is crap!!! I had four corractions tomake in the last sentence.

Agree about the balancing. I've been going to PT for balance issues due to my two surgeries last year, and it is taking a long time to recoup, but the good news is, it does work. A lot of time has been spent on this and I have 10 sessions left, then re-evaluation.
Finally able to resume bowling, and that was a balance concern, but with therapy, my confidence level has definitely increased.

I agree with others that the PT is important. We're an integrated system, not isolated parts, and sometimes we need help getting them to all work together again. But, as also mentioned, maybe request a different person. IF it's a personality clash.
Gee, thanks.
Before we married, I got the (not yet) wife's birthday off by one day. Sadly, one day late, not early. Since then, some 43 years, SHE is the only one to forget our anniversary (once), so I still have some credits
Legs. Any decent Therapist begins with evaluating where you are before they do anything else. She has to find where you are now so she can come up with a plan to get you where you want to be. She was doing it right. You've had PT & OT in the hospital BUT she wasn't part of that so she has to figure it out before she does anything else. You need both therapies. You know you do. If you don't like her just request someone else, but don't work against yourself.

Not sure 'bout your area, but down here da PT/OT industry is VERY competitive!
Either notify da management of your discontent; or go to a diff provider. Bet you'll have a diff tech next visit; or da same one with a MUCH diff attitude.
Besides, we're now ol' curmudgeons and we earned dat distinction...
Well the OT is also a PT and ccan do both and I really liked her. The other problem was with my hearing and her accent, she was asian, I couldn't understand a word she said. Her main goal was to build up my stamina. I spoke to the OT this morning and it was fine with her. I just didn't like that her goal for me seemed different then mine. I just want to be able to do what I used to, not walk 500 yds. The way it seemed to me was her goal was what was important, my balance has always been good, the prosthetist all were really impressed with it and I did all the things she asked me to do. My hip is really not a problem it's my shoulder and what I wanted to accomplish was being able to use it without pain and get a better range of motion. Oh and she tried to be an expert on amputees and was going to call my place that I get my prosthetics and tell them about the red marks on one stump. He knows and I was scheduled to get new sockets before this happened. I have that side of my health in order and I don't need her calling them, I've been going there for 12 years and have that under control. When I'm sure everything is ready I will get new sockets. I had an appt set up for the week following when I fell. Obviously they knew what and when to go back to getting it done.

Now thats a wild hairstyle. Looks like hes happy from the top of his hair to his little bitty toes
CONGRATULATIONS! He sure does look like one happy baby!! Maybe he's tickled pink that he wasn't one of the bald kids! Great picture!! It's funny about baby hair. Miles hair stood straight up at the crown of his head even when we tried to get it to stay down. Then one day it just decided to lay down on it's own. Made me a little sad though, because I thought he looked so cute!
Our last ultrasound I asked "Will he have hair?" which I kind of thought to be funny because there hasn't been a bald baby on my side of the family... in generations. And the nurse took the machine and showed us this little 'flame' looking thing, and replied, yeah, but not much. Then this thing was born:

We knew he was alright as he didn't cry, he didn't scream, but he did poop on the nurse and all over the inside of the warming tub they put him in. All I heard was, "Oh you got to be kidding me, did you just poop on me little guy?!" and of course one of the doctors was like "Oh my God, look at all that hair!" I popped up from behind the curtain and said "He's got hair?!"
Mine, yes. Hers, no. She has a 16 y/o from her past marriage. Was it planned? Absolutely. Was I ready? PSH! Hardly. Am I happy anyways? Yup! I hope he grows up to do great things. We all wish for that. But I have a good feeling he will exceed my expectations. With a name like Lincoln, he has some pretty big shoes to fill.
Aww, I can't see the pics! But congratulations CW & Mom! Happy birthday CW2!
