I have just been weighed and I have put on 2.2kg - hopefully all as muscle! 💪 Before that my BP was 115/60 and HR 56 so all looks good. How are you all doing?
Note: for any new members I am in rehab following a below knee amputation to my left leg due to PAD (peripheral arterial disease). I am trying to gain weight as i Iost 15kg but allow 3kg for my leg.
That’s good news Michael, have you managed to break your exercise band 😂 BP looks great, how’s the wound?
Take good care, Pauline
Hello Michael. That all sounds very good - everything going in the right direction. Hope your wound is healing.
Hi great to here that, I hope your wound is starting to heal and you can get back to physio next week, eating is my big problem at the moment, every time I start to eat I get the most awful taste in my mouth, everything just tastes the same, horrible, whether it's fruit or a home cooked dinner, I am struggling badly with it, I spent a fortune on expensive food when I came out of hospital thinking it was there food that was awful now I know it's me, I said to them at clinic last week they said it will get better over time, but not really helpful just now, I am only 7st 9lbs and really need to eat, I know that, but the taste and nausea make it so difficult, gets me down, when I should be so grateful for the second chance I have been given, char
Hi Michael, you sound to be getting back to your old self again, hope your wound is healing good. Take care and keep posting. All the best from Ruth

Great to hear you're on the road to recovery. So good to hear from you. xxx
Please can I have your BP and heart rate. Perfection. Well done Michael.

Yes it is the best set of observations in a while. The doctors here tweaked my BP medication slightly as I had been suffering hypotension before I arrived here.
You are so brave !!! Maybe you should eat what you enjoy and not worry about anything, its early days. Here's to a continuing speedy recovery, also your positive attitude, l admire you.!!! Take care, Sue.
Good on you Michael, being cheerfull is obviously helping a lot. Perhaps Mr universe next year 🏋️ good luck
Michael that is great news. The better news is that you are back on the Forum gracing all of us with your wisdom, your wit and your hope.
You were missed by many of us.
Well done - the food must be more appealing
Seriously though, you're clearly healing now, that's great!
