Out for a walk

[Capricorn9157]

Hi, today I went out for the first time (had to, no choice ) in a few weeks, travelling by bus, train and walking. In total spent about 2 hours just walking around and by the time I got home my speed had gone from slow to barely making it...lol. I was overtaken by a tortoise but I showed the snail a clean pair of crutches... Now at home, legs aching and tremors to hands and legs - if you want a martini, I can make a mean one as long as you dont want it stirred. I must admit despite everything I feel good for it and will do again.

Now I am determined to go out 2 or 3 times a week, nothing planned but just go when I feel able.

Anyone in the Sheffield / Rotherham / Doncaster / Barnsley area want to meet anytime to compare notes? Let me know.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Well done you and glad it made you feel good. Sorry, but I live in the South, so no cuppa.☺

It's important to get out. This past month I had to make a 2 day trip that involved all sorts of travel. I practiced for a few weeks and had a great time during my trip. Was very happy to get home, have a few scotches and rest for a week. Hahaha. I'm back to daily exercise again and looking forward to going out more! Enjoy your travel!

Hi cubs. My main concern is going too far and getting stuck and unable to get home but it was good. I too have physio exercises but not the same. Hehe...but a couple of scotches sounds good..

Hi Capricorn,

That is good tiredness. It makes you feel good after you have been out and worn yourself out that way. I have one morning a week when I work for a charity in a shop. By the time I get home (sometimes I'm so tired I don't know how I get home at all) I am exhausted but happy because it is a good exhaustion as opposed to just plain fatigue. I would love to join you for either a cuppa or a walk but can't commute all the way from Australia. Stay happy and keep smiling. Barbara.

Hi Capricorn

Have you tried out the Sheffield branch Ataxia Meetings, they meet once a month?

Well done on your achievement 😀

[Capricorn9157 in reply to Angelcake1]

Have contacted them but yet to go to a meeting. Hoping to make the next one.

Well done Capricorn. Keep it up. My walking is here,there and everywhere but I have great pleasure cycling on my power assisted mountain bike. Freedom of being out and about.
