 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!

    You are very good at thinking about exercises.mthe best way to get back into shape after thr. Everything seems to go south. Especially before surgery it's impossible to do much of anything. Just surviving the pain. Is a lot of work.

    i was prescribed water exercises to build muscle and tendons. It's resistance training. I was at the pool twice a week and hot tub after .

    the therapists are very helpful and work with each individual on a separate basis. After several months Imwas able to swim again. Do everything I had done before. And you will too!

    ask you doc for water therapy and you too will be back swimming in less than you think!
