illness

Physical therapy. I’m lying on the table lifting my legs up about 6 inches. After five repetitions my left leg feels sandbag—heavy and numb.During another exercise the pt places her hand lightly on the back of my leg. Almost impossible to lift. I can feel the weight intimately, deep into the bone. Another exercise I have to lift my leg and right arm at the same time. I’m back in geometry or grad school German. It makes no sense. I have to start fresh with each repetition and rethink it again.
