Afternoon hippies and hippies to be!
stressful week (won't bore you with details lol)
brought a Fitbit on eBay, waiting for that to come, been for a little mile and a bit walk today, seeing my surgeon next Wednesday and I'm hoping that he will let me start to use my excersise bike, like probably many of you, I've put a few extra pounds on whilst not being at work etc!
Kinda thinking I'll probably never go swimming again as my favourite stroke is breaststroke, and being competitive I know I won't settle to use another swim stroke and I'll probably forget that I can't use that stroke!
Well I'll stop rambling on!
have a good weekend all!

interesting - I had bilateral replacement coming in at the front - the end of January -- i have one restriction from my doctor "do not do anything stupid" that does lend itself to interpretation He said I can ride the bike,swim, walk -- basically anything.

ive vey been thinking of getting a Fitbit too, same a few extra kilos around my middle appearing !!
i asked my surgeon about breast stroke and he said it was ok, he showed me in a joint how opening my legs was quite a safe position. I had anterior so I guess it probably comes down to approach again.
maybe you could do an adult swim fit class to master other styles?? It is so good for you. I'm heading to the pool this morning and am going to do some exercises in the pool while the girls do their squads.
enjoy your weekend 🏊🏊🏊🏊

I had to google Fitbit - now I know - learning something new every day ....
Not much to add ... I haven't been in a pool or a long time and don't even own a bathing suit -- have to put my pride away here and accept that my body is not the same as ??? years ago ...
of course you will swim again ....
My Physical Therapist put me on the exercise bike as soon as could go to her gym ... apparently that is one of the best exercises and least weight bearing - just start with little resistance ...
You sound wonderful, Linzi -
warm hug

I have been using a Fitbit from about a month before my op and in the nearly 5 wks since, to keep tabs on my steps and also sleep.... I've ended up a bit well, not quite obsessed, but so seem to look up how I've done quite a lot - it's rather good I think
Re swimming - I'd like to start but haven't done so yet (seeing consultant next week). I saw a feature on BBC Breakfast this morning where they were showing a guy who has done open water swimming in some of the most treacherous waters in the world - who's training 4 women who are going to swim from Northern Ireland to Scotland! - he's devised a new stroke (based on front crawl) that makes it a lot easier to do and that he claims you can do for hours and hours - essentially putting less emphasis on your shoulders.... worth having a look at that on BBC iplayer?

I've just replied to Georgie on swimming too! At Exeter the physios say tis fine at 6 weeks..any stroke incuding breast - which is also all I know too! Just not too energetic at first...
I've just brought a pro roller thing for sitting back on haunches..also massages of lower thighs...and im improving abs and ads at the gym.
Happy non hot so called summer day!uv
