Had "walking lessons" today, got angry and said something not so nice to physiotherapist. I tried to tell her I can no more, I have to rest, and she keeps yelling "Are you a man or a boy, 10 more steps!", and finally I fell quite badly, hitting my nose and forehead to the floor.
Although it was about 30 years ago but if I recall it correctly, taking driving lessons to get a driver's license was not half as difficult than trying to get a "walker's license".

Your therapist and I have something in common. To get you and Donna up on your feet and walking. Her goal is to get out of the wheel chair and use the walker.
She has fallen many times but gets back up and presses on.
So, little boy, get up and get going!! Never ever give up!
Sorry to hear that you fell, Kari...sounds like your therapist is like this guy (the one on the right)....Had "walking lessons" today, got angry and said something not so nice to physiotherapist.

but I know they are trying to help you, so keep trying!
Dennis, I'm walking already, although only short distances and very, very slowly. But this physiotherapist says all the time it's just in my head, I could do better, pushing me more than my sadistic drill sergeant did when doing my conscription in the Finnish Navy.
I thought my goal was to be able to walk normally. She seems to think she's a sport coach, preparing me for the Berlin Marathon...
That's her goal ............deal with it.Dennis, I'm walking already, although only short distances and very, very slowly.

She'll be proud of you if you can walk several blocks but won't show it.
She will probably say to you...I WANT MORE FROM YOU KARI!!!
Your therapist is just what you need. Someone to drill it in you to go for the sky!
That cat and I frew up over how handsome you are
