I love this, Bar! Derangement is a perfect word to describe so many afflictions these days, don't you think? A deranged back, a deranged parent, a deranged country being run by the most deranged man to ever walk this planet. I wonder if there's an exercise that your PT could recommend to fix it all? xo

A therapist who chuckles! Perfect! Show up holding a cup of coffee for him at your next session. "Derangement" just about covers all the local and national news. It is also better than your therapist saying, "What do you expect at your age?"

so right. We're all just a wee bit deranged these days. How could we not be??

You’re going to have to show me your exercises to un-derange! Sounds like you got a great physical therapist 👍.

It makes me laugh every time I do the exercises, which is helpful. It's basically cobra but with a profound sag in the lower back and thighs. Counterintuitive for me and I have to do all kinds of other stuff afterwards to unlock my back and make it possible to stand up without a chair nearby, but I do feel better. Cautiously optimistic. We'll tawk...
