Had to apply the beginner skiing technique of back and forth at a lesser angle.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-77634424020381228902021-06-23T08:49:01.175-04:002021-06-23T08:49:01.175-04:00Couldn't get by without it!

Thankfully physical therapy is covered. No costs for the surgery between Medicare and our great supplemental so that is wonderful.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-60402733245242638882021-06-23T07:22:59.030-04:002021-06-23T07:22:59.030-04:00A nurse who took care of me in the hospital was ac...A nurse who took care of me in the hospital was actually on one of those scooters (he was recovering post surgery). I couldn't believe how well he maneuvered around. They are such a good invention. You know, I remember that my dad was reimbursed by Medicare and his insurance for some of the medical devices he needed. Might be worth looking into. Great idea to donate it when you're on your feet again.

For quite a while I won’t even be able to stand a sheet touching my toes so this is nice and safe for me.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-61443370611022606152021-06-22T19:07:16.314-04:002021-06-22T19:07:16.314-04:00Wonderful.
