Husband and son set up my physio table last night. So, today, I did the 'bridging' exercise, the lay on back and pull heel as close to the butt as you can, and the cross legs at the ankles, keeping the surgical leg in the back (the left one in this case) and using the right foot to assist, bend the left leg as far back as you can (to discomfort).
Got done with that, and used the washing machine for balance, slowly shifted weight from the right foot, to the left, and lifting the right foot off the floor, until at least 90% of the weight is on the left foot. Repeat, but going the other way, from left to right.
Here's where the virtual betting comes in. Will I:
A: Hop out of bed, ready to start a new day.
B: Groan, and using right heel on side of bed, haul my self to sitting position, kind of glad it's a new day.
C: Groan, try to move, and realize my legs, glutes and abdomen wish it was yesterday, and just stay in bed.
