HOLLY!!!  THIS SLOW MOTION IS WONDERFUL!!!!!    Dr Weeele even mentioned she would like to jave seen it in slow motio  and BAM...here it is!!!   I've written her to ask her to check in over here and see if her assessment has changed.   Thanknyou soooo mich for putting this together!!

TINA!!!  MANNI!!!!   TINA!!!  MANNI!!!   First of all, I can't tell you how good it feels...how "normal" it feels...to SEE Manni still here with us!   Manni continues to inspiire and MAKE A DIFFERENCE, even from a differe t "location".  His presence is sooooo strong here through you.

I don't know if Jerry has these videos "archived" anywhere, but they really are great DIY examples for at hime.  THANK YOU TINA!!  I cant wait for  Dr. Weedle to see them so she can help me customize these for Frankie.   

I ALWAYS have to keep jn mind (although I wish I didn't), that every exercise he's doing is with TWO good legs and they MUST stay protected  (hopefully they stay that way well jnto his senior uears)  And I also have to keep in mind that his progess will be at a slower, more cautious pace.

Dr Weedle.projected he would be putting pressure on that leg around the eight week mark and he certainly is!  She IS very pleased with his progress and feels like he's right where he should be considering everything.     I'll update as soon as I get her feedback. 

To E V E R Y O N E of you on TEAM FRANKIE...OMD....OMC......YOU ARE OUR MIRACLE!!!  

With sincere love and appreciation,

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie

I'll be back........

Okay, if all goes well, this will be Dr Weddle's email:

Hi Sally.  I'm  not sure how many more sessions Frankie needs. It really depends on frequency of visits, ability to do exercises between visits, and Frankie’s own healing ability. I feel we need at least two more visits where we increase and add exercises (would also need to be dry weather/dry ground times). Whether or not he is ready for those exercises at the next visit is hard to gauge. Four visits might be a safer bet, done every 2 weeks, but no guarantee.

It would be $145 without the laser and assistant. I was already charging for a 30 minute visit, which is the minimum amount of time for appointment. The majority of the fee is due to travel. We can try without having an assistant, however, I’d strongly recommend having the assistant with me, as it will be more difficult adjusting his technique or introducing other exercise without her. It could end up being dramatically less productive and simply doing what we have already been doing with exercises.

The leg being out is likely to improve as his pain subsides and strength increases. However it can be a bad habit. Continue your assisi loop and medications. Continue ramp walking and cushion walking, increasing laps when he is ready. For sit-stands, have you placed a board by the couch to help keep the leg in? Admittedly, the sit-stands are the hardest to get good technique after acl surgery, often they don’t do it well until 4 months after surgery even though we can sometimes start them at 4 weeks! Cavaletti exercises would help with normal motion at walk and we can try at next visit, but I’ve been hesitant due to his need to hop his front leg over it. Still, we can try and see. Also, we may need to put a weight on the good rear leg to get him to shift more to the left.
