Physical Therapy again today - after 4 days off, I thought Sada would be really feeling all the stretching today. Nope! In fact, Sergio, the therapist, had given her homework to do over the weekend and she'd remembered. So she was able to really increase tension on the NeuroSuit and she more than tripled the weight used on the pulley system in the Monkey Cage (Jeff named it "The Rack"). You go girl!

Sergio kept checking with her to see if she was in pain, and her answer was always, "Yeah, it hurts, but it's a stretch hurt not a pain hurt." I've NEVER seen her work out so hard. Think 3 straight hours of personal trainer time at the gym. And yes, she was sweating. By the end she could just about go down the stairs without holding on or falling over. Her balance on one leg was so much better, as well. She kept saying that the rubdown at the end would make it all worthwhile.

Moral of the story - Trials are mandatory. Misery is optional.
