Bouncing Back

Much as I am loathe to tempt fate. Things appear to be on the up. I can't believe it's been three months since my last post. I am still using the vibrocise machine and aiming for five days a week on that at 10 minutes a time. I have also been working on the rebounder (mini trampette) and have managed to get this up to 15 minutes with the first five minutes using hand weights.I aim to do that four or five times a week. I went on holiday in June and didn't use my stick much at all. I walk a lot further on the flat without my walking stick, but still need it on inclines or I slow to my granny-shuffle pace, though my legs don't burn and pain as much when I do finally get there. I attended two weddings and one of them was up north involving a train journey with a change and I did it without my stick. First stickless journey solo! Both weddings were quite long days but I coped and I enjoyed them. I have got myself out of a relationship that was draining and feel better for it. I have started volunteering at a large allotment type project called Feed Bristol for two and a half hours a week and stay for the shared lunch. I am using my body in all sorts of different ways and making new friends to boot! A lot more has gone on but these are the edited highlights. I also had my first thai massage treatment for a long time, as it has always been a bit uncomfortable since CFS but this was quite deep and did me good. So, there we are. Watch this space for more potential improvements.
