RSB and PT today--and I'm ready for a break. The RSB session went well--even though we did some running as well as other activities. The 1.5 hour RSB sessions seem to go very quickly--although I space out near the end when I'm getting tired.

The PT session was not very strenuous--more challenging and informative. He tested my strength and flexibility--and noted that the muscles in the hips and tush areas are weak. He put me on a balance board--which tested my ability to stand on the board unaided in left-to-right and forward-and-back directions. He also had me balance on each foot--while standing on a soft pad. He then had me do rabbit steps (sideways movements)--with my legs tied together with a rubber band. Next sessions, we'll do more of the same--plus whatever he adds as we progress. I can see that the sessions will introduce me to exercises--that I can do on my own eventually.

I'll have to miss some Wednesday dance classes over the holidays--I'll be doing the PT sessions instead. Will do tomorrow's session--and see if today's RSB and PT activities affected dancing in any way. Probably not--but will be interesting to note anything that happens (or doesn't).

I did my holiday shopping yesterday--ordered most of my gifts in one online swoop. Have just a couple of gifts that I'll get locally--ho, ho, ho!
