Members and caregivers (26 in all) got rocking and moving and talking when Terry Drew and Angela Lilley (home visit specialists in Physical Therapy and Occupational therapy, respectively, from Capital Home Health in Leesburg) came to get us up and going. They showed a number of techniques and equipment aids.

Some members really liked the Shiatsu foot massage machine. What great fun!

They emphasized that physical activity was essential but needed to be customized for each patient and their home situation. They pointed out how unusual it was for PN patients to get a prescription for home visits. 

Our suggestion to the gathered members: Be different and simply insist! If you don’t ask, you won’t get. Doctors and insurance companies don’t have PN on the front burner. Yet.
