Back and walking with caution.

[alfredthegreat]

Hello all. Thank you so much for all your messages whilst I was in hospital. I am home in my spinal contraption for two or three months and I am being careful to stay on my feet (that is trying not to dive on the floor! lol). Apparently I have some moderate degeneration to my spine and I suppose that's why I have fractured so easily. So my plan is to get these fractures healed and try not to cause any more! When I am able I shall try through exercise ( gently to start) to build my muscular strength back up to support my weakening frame. Alfred shall be great again! All the very best to you all

[alfredthegreat in reply to GrannyDoll61]

Thanks. I will look into that while I'm on the mend.

[Yuiop in reply to alfredthegreat]

So you'll be brand new, Olive Oil will take care of you!

[Hidden in reply to Yuiop]

Hi

I'm so pleased you are home. You will be like a well oiled machine with all that physio!! Love and hugs to you and your wife xxxx

[alfredthegreat in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. I reckon that a spray of WD40 might help too!!

[Hidden in reply to alfredthegreat]

Ha ha very good😁 take care Lynne

[GrandmaDylan]

Congratulations on your return to home. No doubt you'll be getting under Mrs Alfreds feet before long. Good luck with your physio. Deb

[alfredthegreat in reply to GrandmaDylan]

It’s great that you’re home, great to have you back, great to see your post, great that you’ve not lost your sense of humour, great big thanks to your brave wife for posting to us unknowns. All in all it’s great - gosh I nearly lost my senses then by saying you’re great 😁 but you know I’m going to walk our marathon competition now, yes I’m going to walk you can run 😁

Think we ought to be ambitious and go for a triathlon. 'Try' being the operative word!! lol

[Hidden in reply to alfredthegreat]

Triathlon hmm maybe a triathlonoscopy?

[Hidden]

We are really glad to read you are home. Wishing you a healthy recovery.

[alfredthegreat in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Trust 1, it's good to be back and hopefully to stay this time!!

Great news that your home and also you will be well looked after by your lovely wife. Handy hint if your corset causes itching due to being warm, keep a knitting needle to hand. Only salvation its winter, imagine being trussed up in the summer we just had ? Hazelx

[alfredthegreat in reply to Radnor]

Thanks for the tip Radnor. I shall keep a knitting needle handy just in case. So far ok but it's early days! Yes, cold weather helps when you wear one of these contraptions!!

[Hidden in reply to alfredthegreat]

But don’t put it too far up your nose freddy!

You might damage your brain, oh yes sorry, umm oh omg umm sorry I forgot - too late isn’t it ☹️,,,,

[alfredthegreat in reply to Hidden]

Only just seen this Milo. How very dare you!!! Be very afraid when I've got a knitting needle in my hand!! lol

[GrandmaDylan]

Just think of the gas bill and the savings you'll make. I'm dressed in several layers with the central heating on and a blanket and still not warm. My husband is walking round in a tee shirt and shorts and sweating profusely. I remember last time I was on steroids I was so hot and every visitor would be freezing. So bring on the blasted steroids.

[Hidden in reply to GrandmaDylan]

But Debs you can’t sleep now - what are you going to be like if you’re taking steroids as well.....hope you’ve got lots of sheep, or you could just keep whistling to them so they go round and round in a circle.

Hey that sounds like a good sleep aid, hmm I might just patent it...

[Hidden]

Hi alfredthegreat,

Good to hear you are home and healing!

Best wishes for a swift and uneventful recovery.

Please use a stick if you go out walking. My hubby broke a rib 2 weeks after his transplant.

[alfredthegreat]

Hi, yes, I definitely use a stick when walking and for up and down stairs. When I have finished free falling and diving and breaking my spine and I am fully recovered I shall have a stick shelving ceremony and then start trying to build my muscular strength back up. Can't wait !! Alf
