> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > The… **comfy chair!** If only. Becks, that does sound like a torture device. Is it because you are a fall risk? That seems like a silly extreme to go to, making you walk while lying on your back. My visit to therapist consisted of her talking down to me but then being the first person to tell me that I had osteoarthritis in my back and she can’t help with that. Well, at least someone finally told me what kind of arthritis I have. ---

I guess. I saw a guy in there on a moving track. He held on to the two rails on either side. He walked a really slow speed I could do that easily. The lady there told me I cannot afford to fall and hit my head. So we gotta go super slow. I get that. I don’t wanna fall on my melon either. I got a shower. The CNA helped me. I had to sit. She carefully washed my hair around my staples. Boy, I feel so much better. I got pizza at lunch and ate leftovers tonight. I did eat the green bean smash up. I have never tasted anything like that before. It was very strange. Tasted like grass. Ice cream, or a facsimile, for dessert. I’m trying to go with the flow. Folks, I’m being nice🤗 ---

So why don’t they get you an oversize crash helmet, lined with several inches of squishy foam rubber? I think I saw that leg-yank torture doohickey in the basement of the castle in Old Nuremburg (Nuernberg) with all the other gruesome torture devices. I’d like to know where they got it! The tour guide told us not to take anything home! ~VOW ---

I fail to see the purpose of the do-hicky. It jerks you by the foot and slowly stretching…it kinda felt good till the thing let’s go. Teeth rattlin’ But Do-hicky does sound like a rapper name. @VOW you just make me laugh, girl. ---

Glad to see you up and complaining, @Beckdawrek. That’s always a good sign. I can understand your frustration, though. Slow and steady, unfortunately. There’s no way around it. All the best 🤗 ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > It jerks you by the foot and > slowly stretching…it kinda felt good till the thing let’s go. When it lets go, do you get vertigo? It does seem like an odd torture device, designed to make you think you are walking in your dreams. edit to add: That’s it you know. You’ll think you walked in your sleep so you will quit pestering them about walking. Keep pestering. ---

No vertigo or dizzy. Just pain in my hip, but not really too bad. I think is something to do with the way they have my pelvis raised up. If I could turn my hips out like you do when your walking it would feel more comfortable. I ask the person there why they do it like that? He shrugged and said: “that’s how we do it”. I may need to write a stern email to someone. ---

It does seem silly and unnatural but if it works the right muscles, that’s what counts. But, like you, I’d rather be upright. ---

_Jojo_ He’s doing well. He’s staying in the reception area. They have a window separating the waiting area from the office. And he sleeps right up against the glass and looks up at every client. His neck is healing. The tech says he’s looking better every day, Beck ---

My mid-dau went to the vet yesterday to pick up heart worm pills for the dogs. She looked at Jojo. Quoted: “That is possibly THE MOST disgusting animal I’ve ever looked at. Including, but not limited to, the raccoon I splattered all over the interstate.” She know she lurve him. Anyway he has personality plus!😽 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wait-just-a-dang-minute-bad-bad-bad-ms-beck-brain-we-gotta-talk/960583.md?page=18) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wait-just-a-dang-minute-bad-bad-bad-ms-beck-brain-we-gotta-talk/960583.md?page=20)
