Another lovely day!
My nephrologist's medical assistant visited me today at dialysis. My hemoglobin is fine (they check it once a week and it is good). I'm going to try using belt/resistance bands with leg exercises tomorrow as she said it was fine as long as I felt okay. She suggested it was probably a good idea to wait another week before trying modified planking...and only if my arm is up to it. Going to go back to riding my bike tomorrow...my true love.
Did stretching for 45 minutes. Most exercises used to be 3 sets or 30 reps. All have been increased this week at PT.
These are the ones I did today. I switch these out with other stretches.
Standing Hip Extension: each leg, 50 reps
Standing Hip Abduction: each leg, 50 reps
Standing Lunges on Raised Surface: each leg, 50 reps
TheraBand Lateral Walk: 3 sets of 90 seconds
TheraBand Monster Walk: 1 set of 90 seconds (Binky ran in and wanted to chase, had to stop this one)
TheraBand Knee Extension: each side, 50 reps
Bridging: 50 reps
TheraBand Supine Clamshell: each side, 50 reps
TheraBand Supine Clamshell: both legs at same time, 50 reps
Supine Piriformis Stretch Hip: Each hip, 100 count
Hope to get Binky's Santa pictures tomorrow and take her to the doggie park again. Life is good!
Onward, friends.
