Physical therapy?

My physical therapist showed me what I should be doing for the next week or so. Isometric buttocks-- lay down and tighten my butt over and over. Isometric quads-- same, except with my thighs. Ankle pumps-- move my ankles up and down, again while laying down. Heel slides-- move my foot back and forth while bending my knee. A little depressing, but I promised myself that I'd be a good patient with this whole thing. I tend to be bad, push things too hard, etc.

I asked him if I could go to the gym and do seated exercises for my upper body-- he had no problems with that, so I'm off to the gym this afternoon...I'll be good.
