13; Nothing spectacular, just a new, harder exercise, and no one is more surprised than me as to how hard it was. Feet together, about a 1/4 squat, weight on heals. Slowly step right leg, to the side to shoulder width. Then bring left foot to right foot....repeat...the reverse direction. MAN did...

I am off crutches and not using the cane much either PT New exercises..... Started stepping up and down, on just one step, step up, step back (slowly) right leg 10 times, left leg 10 times. The idea is to get the muscles to work again, which I can honestly say, they don't really want to in...
