getting out of wheelchair -Kayelinda

[Guest guest]

Kayelinda, have you been working with an OT or PT about this? Even tho

my w/c time was short and I was a kid, I had a PT working with me while

in casts and in the w/c and also made me stand first 5 minutes at a

time, to stretch my back and other muscles. Maybe if you don't have some

help, the Visiting Nurse Association in your area could best direct you

and just get you up to stretch your spine. Maybe first a heat pack to

relax the muscles? Good luck and easy does it, ~ Gretchen
