Last month I had a knee replacement. In the hospital, a young physical therapist said to me, "When I started out, I would look at my daily patient list and I thought I would find their attitudes and abilities
would correspond to their age. I quickly learned that someone who is 55 might not co-operate and respond to therapy as fast as someone who is 85." She also said, "I have come to regard as 'small',
anyone who fits into a standard size hospital gown!"
