THEY WORK YOU HARD IN THERAPY!!

Ken continues to improve and build up his strength at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Virginia. Things are more difficult with the restricting hip brace, but they want him to do everything for himself. So, he has Physical Therapy every morning and Occupational Therapy in the afternoon to help him learn ways to cope.

Here is Ken and his Therapist, Jonell on their way to Occupational Therapy (Check out the Red Hot Chili Pepper pants!!! Borrowed them from his son, Mike, to have something large enough to fit over the big brace. Everyone on staff loved them!!

Jonell works with Ken and puts him through his paces -- Lifting a bar while improving his balance.

Performing a task while standing and balancing.

But he still needs to dress himself. Pulling up his pants!!

Almost got 'em up!! This is not too hard!!!

Now for the "silk" stockings.

Upper body work.

Looks like they are having too much fun!!

Using free weights.

Now we get to the group activities. “Shaking a Cocktail” using hand weights. This is as close as we get to Happy Hour!!!

Batting a Balloon. It’s not Pickleball but its kinda fun!!
