Great news Val ! Enjoy 
Thanks Stitch look forward to it Val x
Good for you must keep it up when the course ends.
hi Val, glad you managed to get on the course, i am waiting for mine, went for the preliminary one to answer questions, did a walking test, which i managed 150m i think it was. Hope all goes ok, San x
Hi val, been doing mine for a while now and deffinatly have more get up and go !. Some days it can be a bit of an effort to attend sometimes but it's worth it, Enjoy
Best wishes,
Ron.
hi Val, i was told that when i needed to stop i could do, it could be for six minutes, but if you cant do it for the full length of time you can tell them you need to sit down, you walk at different speeds, start off slow, then walk faster. They play a tape and you have to walk from one cone to another, then when there are more bleeps, it means that you have to get quicker and have less time to get from one cone to another. I got my course dates through this morning, my rehab starts on mon 30 july, not too far away now. San x
I am looking forward to it, though i am nervous too as i dont mix too well with new people and hate having to do things in front of people i dont know incase i make a fool of myself, but i keep thinking that it will help me and thats the main thing, maybe going there i will get the help i really need and not getting from my gp.

I will do, the group i am going to is only a small group as i mentioned the anxiety attacks while i was there, so they asked whether i wanted to be in a large or small group, i said small. The small group wont be taking place at the hospital, it will be elsewhere. San x
i always remember the breathing exercises i was taught in my antenatal classes when i was pregnant with my girls and use those techniques. San x
Enjoy your Pulmonary Rehab,it will make you feel good.Also why not join your local Breathe Easy group where you will be amongst friends with the same condition,encourage some friends that you you will hmeet at Rehab to go along with you>
Good idea many thanks Val
As well as a Breathe Easy group will also be a good idea to start looking at follow-on exercise options available for when you finish the course; the end of the course will come around fast and it will be good to know what options you have to continue the benefits of rehab.
Have fun!
