Akua,
I was taught at Baylor to us barbells alot. My O.T. I have uses them alot
with me. She had me do biceps, tricepts. take my arms out straight from my
wheelchair & lift my arm staright out from the bottom to where my arm was
straight with one exercise w/ them; I have a sheet she gave me. If you want I
can send you the sheet of paper. It shows the exercises. Also I was given an
exercise that someone else has to help you w/ once a week to keep some problem
from occuring w/ your hips later on. I've been home now for 2 mths. and we
haven't done the hip exercise and I told my husband last night, this weekend we
have to start. I plan to keep the barbell exercises up. If you could get home
health in your house and get a good O.T. or P.T. to show you some that would
sure help you. Let me know if you want me to send you the paper or not.

thanks so much for this. I won't get the video as I'm only dvd capable, but
am inspired by the idea and will seek other sources for sittting exercises.
People have chided me-- why don't i have an motorized chair--- you should
use a motorized chair. I am grateful that 've resisted.
The only exercise i get is rolling myself around and this compared to the
many hours i spent gardening and the miles a day i sued to walk--- it's the
least i can do.
The thing is, I weigh much less than i used to. My nursing home time with
it's fake inferior food that i refused to eat led me to lose about 60 pounds.
I've gained some of it back since i am able to feed myself more healthfully
again, but the inability to buy food with the ease I used to has kept my
weight down.
It is so hard for us to do any exercise at any stage of TM. I don't know if
this will help or not, but this is a link that we have shared here. Here is
the site for the sitting exercise video.
