I have just had a call from physio to say I am booked into the Gym at the QEH for 6 half hour session once a week stating Thursday the 13th August. at 8.30 in the morning once a week for 6 weeks. I feel tired now hehehe, but looking forward to it as sometimes I feel I have cme to a standstill and nothing is improving.  I will be 12 post op on Thursday.

    Dear Gill, 

    Good news! To be able to go to the Gym is a great achievement; I am sure you will improve faster with some excercise. I am going swimming soon...

    Life is coming back to us!

    Big hugs

    Ella

    Wow, Gill !!! 

    The 8:30 AM time slot would be challenging for me right now ... oh well, it is once a week only, right -

    is the gym close by ? 

    big hug

      It could be challenging for me too smile The gym is in the physio's department at the hospital about 10 minutes away from home so not too bad. xx

    Hi Gill

    I went back to the gym about 12 weeks post op. It makes me feel so much better. 6 months post op now & doing 3 gym sessions & 2 Aqua aerobics every week. Almost back to where I was 3 years ago.

    the only thing I have been told not to do in the gym is the rowing machine. I would love to know if you are advised to use it or not.
