Exercise at rehab:


Exercise at rehab: There is a small gym with exercise equipment we are encouraged to use after being trained. Of course the major concern is about falls and possible re-injury. There is a great nature bike walking trail near the facility that we enjoy taking. Brett, Celia, Roy and Suzanne, Bruce and Julia have gone with us a few times and we enjoy visiting as we walk the trail along the creek. We meet a lot people out walking dogs and children and we sometimes get a chance to visit with them but usually it is just a friendly hello or smile. One interesting encounter was watching an older Volvo arrive with two dogs to be walked. One dog was a small, quiet and well behaved one. The larger one was hyper and barked loudly and constantly as the man encouraged it to quiet down and stop pull[ng. We arrived back at the parking area about the same time to see him load the dogs and depart, with the big dog still barking loudly as the car departed. We were glad we were not traveling with them. What is funny is that a day or two later Nancy was driving in town and was startled by a dog barking in car pulling up beside her. She started laughing when she recognized the old Volvo and the same two dogs.  That silly dog seems to bark enthusiastically at everything! man must be going deaf!
