Good point about balance and fall prevention. (Falls have more dire consequences for us, particularly for those of us on weird drugs.) Your story about the sports medicine trainer is exactly why I ignore the heavy sales of personal trainers at my gym. But it does seem like an open field for someone with the right knowledge and understanding. (This also, by the way, reflects my attitude about nutrition and nutritionists. If we could just get appropriate, accurate and reliable coaching on both exercise and nutrition, that would be a major help!)

I am lucky that most of my pains were, shall we say, emotional rather than physical. I couldn't wait to walk, so I did, for miles each day, in the hospital. The fact that it made the hospital staff nervous improved my spirits immensely!
