Well good morning every one hope you are feeling the best you can.something lovely happened to me at work thought I would share.

An elderly gentleman bought a trip walker in to surgery the ones with four wheels and a seat. Said he saw me struggling with my sticks. This walker he did not use and thought I should have it . How nice was that just made my week to think people can be so thought full. I tried it round the house and yes I am going shopping with it it will be great yo be able to sit down when in pain . Have a good day x x x

Ang, I am delighted for you, what a lovely man to give you such a great gift.

I am hoping to get something similar at the end of my physio assessments. Enjoy your new found freedom. Linda x

Hi ang, Morning Linda. That was really good of him,I`m so glad that it is a help to you.

We are planning a day out tomorrow and were puzzling over where we could go with very little walking. Then this morning our son in law phoned to say that he has borrowed a wheelchair for me to use. so it will now be my 6ft 4 son in pain having to bend over pushing me.

I am not too happy about using a wheelchair, but as was said yesterday It is about accepting a new normal. So it is a big thank you to S in law, sue

I hope you have a lovely day sue and I was daunted the first time I went out in the chair too but the benefits were fantastic.

Sending healing fluffies to you

Hi ang53

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I think that is absolutely wonderful, what a lovely man he was!

I have a tri-walker, without the seat, as I wouldn't get very far without some help! I think they are a fantastic invention.

Take care
