She is much better today. My dad is on top of her medications. She is somewhat leery of PT, and esp of PT here in our town. Let me explain why.
All of this started with bursitis in her hip joint. She was sent for PT. She went and did EXACTLY what the therapist told her to. They raved about how compliant she was. She complained about how much it hurt as she did the therapy. This was done at "the best" therapy place, the one run by our local hospital. Turns out that the physical therapy for her bursitis is exactly what destroyed her hip.
Her doctor is FURIOUS that the therapist never contacted him that she was having pain with the exercises. She complained about it every time, but was told 'no pain, no gain'. It is an hour and a half drive to her doctor's office to do therapy there and she needs therapy 3x per week. So that isn't really doable. I have suggested another place here in town that we are liking for therapy, but I don't know if she what she will do. Some will depend on her doctor's recommendation.
She has a walk in shower at her home. At this point they don't want her to soak at all, so a tub is out of the question. She thought about having a walk in tub put in when she redid her bathroom, but with the shower she thought it would be okay for any times when she or dad couldn't get into the tub.
