Well in a few hours time me and my lovely husband will be heading to York from Scotland.

This will be a big test for me as its the most l have done since my 2 hip replacements.

I am excited and nervous at the same time but as my husband said there is no pressure on me, we do what you feel you can and if you are not managing we will come home.

I want to do it l want to prove to myself l am a million times better than l was the last time l went which was a disaster . it was when l had OA pain and it seemed to get a million times worse when l arrived there. I basically spent 3 days in a hotel room in tears if l tried to go anywhere l could hardly walk. That was end of sept last yesr and l had my 1st hip replacement 9th dec.

So we will see how it goes this time. Hopefully better than last. I will be able to say l actually seen York.

I have wi fi in my hotel so will try and keep you posted on how l am getting on.

This is huge for me and l am hoping it is great.

Catch you all soon my frirnds..

Love

Laura xxx

    York is fantastic Laura, just make sure you get plenty of rests and if push comes to shove, why not hire a wheelchair while your there. Would be better than sitting in your room or coming home, if things get too tiring.

    Have a fabulous time Laura. Ā You'll have a great sense of achievement doing this and I think you'll be just fine. Ā 

    It's a shame the Jorvik Centre is still closed after the floods (I think it is anyway), I really enjoying going round there. Ā 

    Fingers crossed for good weather for you.

    Hugs, Cels xxx

    Hi Laura

    I live in a little village between York and Easingwold. Ā I'm probably a bit biased but I think York is the most exciting city in the UK, a probable exception being Oxford. Ā Have a lovely time and the best way to see the city is walking on the Bar Walls. Ā Hope you remain pain free.

    Go Laura go! But be sure to bring good walking shoes for the cobblestones.

    I loovvveee York for its beauty, history and shops - not to mention it's excellent university and walking trails around.

    I sure hope you get at least a little of each.

    My money is on you to make this a great time away (well-earned). The key must be to pace yourself and rest a little if you extend yourself.

    I really hope you have a fabulous time ... for you but also so some of us can live vicariously through you!

    Looking forward to a fabulous report.

    Linda
