Ellipse Leg Exerciser

This morning (October 22, 2025), I ordered (for delivery) this Electric Ellipse Leg Exerciser (from Amazon). I haven't been able to walk for a few years due to six recent surgeries, even with subsequent occupational therapy and physical therapy at home and at physical rehabilitation facilities.

I am currently dealing with Congestive Heart Failure (heavily medicated); Restrictive Lung Disease (medicated, plus supplemental oxygen); Diabetes (daily insulin shots in my belly) with related Peripheral Neuropathy in the form of numbness and pain within both of my feet, all of which adds to my struggle.

All of this has caused my continuous weakness, although I am stronger than I was. I have been drinking Ka'Chava health supplemental shakes, adding separate liquid magnesium to heal the nerve damage within my chest and thighs from my surgeries and within my feet due to my neuropathy. My nerve damage isn't as bad as it was, but I still need more time to heal. I have noticed that drinking the daily shakes are helping me to regain my strength. Of course, my wonderful wife's delicious, healthy meals have definitely helped me. I also recently purchased magnesium cream in an attempt to restore more feeling within my feet.

I am hoping that this leg exerciser in conjunction with my other efforts will help to restore my strength and my mobility.

MY RECENT SURGERIES:

March 2022: my quadruple coronary artery bypass surgery (to remove a vein in my left thigh for the open-heart surgery, and to break my sternum/breastbone required to access my heart for main surgery)

May 2022: my 1st chest surgery (to open my chest to remove sternal plates holding my broken breastbone together due to loose screws and also to remove an infection within my chest)

May 2022: my 2nd chest surgery (to close my chest after my chest was open for about a week with a wound vacuum constantly sucking the infection and discharge out of my chest ... Seven sutures holding my chest wound together left eight holes in my body for the wound vacuum to continue sucking for many more weeks.)

September 2023: my 1st spinal surgery (to clean out my infected disk)

October 2023: my 2nd spinal surgery (to attach a titanium metal rod to my spine to hold my "collapsing" spine together due to a bone infection)

April 2024: my right ankle surgery (to perform a bone biopsy, deburring of the bone, and draining of fluid due to a bone infection from two recent fractures)
