Alternative social life

thanks for starting this thread Trees.

For me it is dog walking, every time. I couldn't walk in the early days of the illness, then after my mum died I got Max Dog. He makes such a difference. He gets me up in the morning because he has to have his breakfast whether I feel like it or not. He has to have exercise whether I feel like it or not. If I am not well I will drive him to the field and sit on a bench and throw a ball for him, or if I am ok we will walk through the woods for 20 minutes which is so mentally restful.

I used to be a cyclist and would cycle up to 12 miles in one go. I loved my bike and the freedom it gave me. Nowadays i cannot push the pedals round and my daughter has got my bike, but my little Max Dog more than makes up for it. :D

:evil:

I've just spent the last ten minutes typing a post for this thread and it just disappeared:evil:

I have to say, it was the most amazing piece of work too ........ and now it is gone forever ........ as I can't remember what on earth I was writing about :roll:

I could say some very rude words:evil:

Will try again later ..... have gone all tired now :roll:

oh that's so annoying, i hate it when that happens! :evil:

I used to cycle to and from work (10 miles in total) every day, but now i don't think i will get too far, can't even jog/run :cry:

I do go with my mum to take the dog out sometimes at the weekends, thats just over a mile :shock: :D

Other than that, although i'm not getting on as fast, i still do 3D modelling on the computer but with the lack of concentration, it's now a real struggle to think of how to make something where as before i used to just do it.

This is the worst thing that this illness has taken partly away from me :x

Katie, one of the things i try to rember to do before hitting the submit button is when i have typed it all out, i select all the text, 'copy' it, then hit the button.

that way, if the page plays up, i still have the text in the clipboard to 'paste' it back in.

Just tell me to shut up and bugger off....... :twisted: :roll: :run:

No James, that is a very relevant point, and one that I am aware of yet never remember to do. :roll:

Oh thanks James ..... that's really useful

I'll have a go at doing that. I've really only been using a computer for the last ten months when my hubby bought me a laptop (to keep me out of mischief ..... hee hee, little did he know :lol: ).... so I'm really very much a new girl to all this technology. :doh:

The one I used at work was all set programmes so was easy peasy

But the very first thing I tapped into my brand new laptop was CFS .....

and the rest, as they say, is history:magic:

Boy, was that my lucky day :wow:

Everyone on here seemed to have come across this forum by accident :roll: Why don't G.Ps have information on things like this :?

Gettin back on topic - unfortunately i have not been able to take up new activities, just been a lazy slob :lol:

my GP had never heard of it either. someone should tell them about this!

back on to the topic - i wouldn't advise scrabble as a replacement for anything I've never been that great but last night I lost atrociously. Kept forgetting the words I wanted to put down. ah well...
