I think its important to start out with exercise that you are comfortable doing, but increase as you heal. If you dont try to keep mobile, it will be harder to regain strength and muscles will get sluggish if not used. Intensity of exercise should be discussed with a medical doctor who is knowledgeable in this area. Each person is different, and of course, it depends on what area has been affected. I think its important to keep reaching for improvement, don't let one bad day get you down.

You will be unable to exercise while you are losing body parts.

Dependent on extent and location of injury. I was fortunate to be able to use a NuStep machine, recumbent elliptical, which allowed me to sit and still work my full body. Each person will have a personalized exercise or rehab program.

Exercise very lightly at first, it's not a race, little steps
You will find all your strength has gone, so slowly increase exercise to build stamina.
Physiotherapist will devise a program to help

Depending on how much overall strength you have you should be involved with physical therapy. As you recover physical therapy should be looked at as your job. It will change the rest of your life. It hurts, I know it does, but some pain now is going to give you more movement in the future. Get up, do your job, appreciate every extra movement you can do, give yourself credit, and don’t worry if you have a plateau or slide backwards a little bit. You can do it!!!!

Yes, yes, yes. Exercise is one of the best things survivors can do. Depending on where you were infected will dictate what you can do but there is always something. I'm my case anything sitting, or stretching of buttock made it difficult to do things like squats, sit ups, etc.. So instead I used hand weights for upper body. After a while I could walk longer which kept my legs strong as well. Do whatever you can. Utilizing a PT would be advised for severe cases.

I personally could not exercise while I was in the hospital. I was on bereft for almost the whole 3 weeks I was in the hospital. It was very difficult to learn to walk again afterwards
