Bewides what the potential benefit to stopping, saving money?
Saving money. Saving time. Working out on my schedule and not theirs. Not paying someone for rehab that will take place regardless.

I liken it to drugs. Why would I continue to take a drug that doesn't give me a benefit? I stopped taking Lyrica for that reason. Ditto Percoset. (Please, folks, no drug discussions.)

Anyway, as I wrote upthread the PT will send a report to the surgeon, and the surgeon will make the call during our next visit Monday. As I wrote, "discharge" is a possibility. During the discussion I had about it with the PT he said that there's always a reason to have therapy. The question is if there's enough of a reason to justify it. That's a decision I'll make after consultation with my surgeon Monday and the therapist Thursday.
