Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I never thought of a corner - mostly because I have few corners in my house - but I can find one. It’s a great idea! I'm hoping to feel better soon. I couldn't get out of bed this morning but I feel a bit better now. Still weak, but I'm hoping to do some light exercise this evening. Maybe some yoga.

It’s a great idea! that is how we always did headstands when we were kids.... put your back into the corner, and face outwards. at first she can get into the corner, really close to the walls and let them support her back and legs... eventually she can inch her way out so she isnt touching the walls at all, but they will still be there in case she wobbles. in my parents house there was a perfect alcove right outside of the dining room. my mom would always come rushing out of the dining room area, on her way down the hall to the bedrooms, and we would scare the crap out of her as my brother or i would be there, standing on our head...LOL > I'm hoping to feel better soon.

Maybe some yoga. oh no, what a bummer some yoga or stretching would be great. hang in there. :*carolyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
