After having a few awful months had to up pred to 7.5 now managed to get back to 6 mg had recurring UTI’s and now pre diabetic thought I’d cheer myself up so put some music on and thought I’d have a dance around in my kitchen there I was giving it some but leg gave way down like a sack of spuds but it was worth it for the joy of having a jig ( maybe won’t do it again for a while) 😀

Ouch! But these things have to be done sometimes just to remind us we are still human - if not as fit as we think! 😉

Never was a dancing person but I've just been in town on my own - and really enjoyed the pace I could walk at (I usually have to hang back for OH's sake). It isn't THAT fast - but it felt good.

It does feel good to be able to do things that at one time we could take for granted.

I like a jig myself , perhaps try it in a softer spot next time , I've been known to give a jiggle then feel myself go and timber onto the nearest sofa

It's well worth having a bit of fun some times- and giving other people a bit of a giggle!

I do like the darker side of humour too. It does (eventually) make me laugh.

My sense of humour can be very dark and definitely not for the open forum.
