While in hospital at Holy Family, where they have a great physiotherapy department, they concentrated on my balance.
What a waste of time, I thought. I have a vestibular (inner ear) disorder. My balance sucks and it will never, ever improve!
Guess what! I was wrong. Thanks to a wonderful physiotherapist who didn’t give up on me, I can stand for approximately a count of twenty, eyes closed (more difficult than with eyes open) and rotate my arms in circles at the same time.
Can you do that???

I’m glad to learn you’re doing well. Keep it up!
Thank you so much. Yes, I AM doing better and am certainly grateful. Stay wll, Muriel
Fantastic, Muriel! Isn’t it amazing how things can improve with the help of a knowledgeable physiotherapist? (and with our own work, of course!) I went to a vestibular physio. for a few months following a concussion, and it sure helped me to regain my balance…Keep up the good work!
Sorry you experienced a concussion. I once had one, it is no fun. Let’s both stay well. Cheers, Muriel
Sometimes it can be nice to be wrong 😊
You are so right!!! I’m grateful I was. I feel so much more secure now because I KNOW I need not fall. All the best to you and yours. Muriel

3 big learnings from this experience: 1. You can improve your balance. 2. You can be wrong. 3. It’s never too late to learn something new
Indeed Rafi: What a wonderful adventure life is. We never stop learning. As for being wrong? I know how to do that very well. Chuckle. Love, Mom
I’m glad you’re doing fine, Muriel. Thanks also the physiotherapist who didn’t give up on you. Please be careful always. ❤️😊
I am VERY grateful to the physiotherapist who didn’t give up on me. I’m doing so much better. Thank you. Stay well, Muriel
You are most welcome, Muriel. Stay safe.
Good news, keep doing better and better. I am going to try that.
Thank you so much. By the way, I tried to comment on your post and am not sure it worked. Did it? It WAS a great post. I love flowers. Cheers, Muriel
I am so happy for you. I will try to do that ❤️
Practice makes it easier. Good luck. It has helped me a lot. Cheers, Muriel
