Hub’s gait and balance hasn’t been right since his upper spine and neck surgery and rehab ten years ago. He reluctantly booked an appointment at a rehab clinic recommended by his physician.
I went along with him for his evaluation and first treatment yesterday, because he thought he was just fine and dandy. Fortunately, the doctor was spot on in his assessment as were my younger son and me. Ahah!
The doctor, whose practice it is, started talking sports with hubs, because he was a former college football player and went on for his doctorate afterwards. I chimed in with some football stories, because our younger son played football.
Hub’s doctor started talking to me about football, thinking I knew so much. I laughed and told him that he was talking to the wrong person. If he wanted to talk to me about fashion and modeling, I could talk about that. I informed him that I used to model when I was taller, thinner, and younger. He laughed and asked if I was a supermodel.
As soon as I told him that I only did local modeling and taught it, he went back to talking sports with my husband.
Hubs will see him 3X a week and do exercises at home daily. I did them with him to make sure he did them correctly. Hopefully, as the doctor said, he will go back to Connecticut a new man.

And I thought for one moment there he would ask you to teach him to model.1 person likes this

That sounds a very successful trip. Hopefully the exercises will help.

I'm glad he will feel so much better before going back.

Interesting about that doctor. Perhaps he wanted to make you both at ease. I do hope the exercises will help your hub.
