Walkies

Yes, it feels OK, this walking stuff, I am back to doing it.....

Back On My Own Two Feet

Then when I was just about to cook dinner Denyse phoned and told me off for self-diagnosing and not walking. I said that it was so much better after resting etc. So when she hung up I A] Put the dinner isn't oven and B] Tried walking to the loo. It went so well I got my proper chair back up to the table and parked my wheelchair in the corner.
I am back on my own two feet now. Not just 'cos Denyse nagged me but because of the rest I had today

Odd/Strange

And it feels really strange to be in my wheelchair in the house again. I lnow it won't be for long but it feels SO strange
Phew, feels normal once more to be not in it

Some Better

And into t'bath s'afternoon, getting out of my wheelchair and walking about the bathroom then climbing into the bath it was defiantly a lot easier to walk than it was s'morning. Still not perfect but a lot better/easier than it was. So hopefully another 24 hours in wheelchair then I can abandon it again

Half Gym

So I wheelchaired to the gym today and did all upper body exercises, including the hand cycle thingy.
It's done now

Ouch

Right. My view is that "It's fscked" but MightyMike says "No, it's tendonitis" so at a guess rest it
Well as I need to rest it I will ask GGtGG to nip out to the car and fetch it in for me to use, as a guess I will use it today and tomorrow then try to start walking everywhere again
"If you think you have injured a tendon, stop doing the exercise or activity that caused your symptoms and rest the affected area initially. As your symptoms start to improve, you can gradually return to your normal activities"
So Timmy txted me to say "If it hurts you need to see your doc" but as it doesn't hurt now, it only hurts when I am walking on it I suspect that just resting it will help
And as "resting" when GGtGG got my 'chair out I asked him to put the foot holder for my right leg on so I am not even having to hold that leg upwards. It is the leg that has been causing all the trouble, my left leg still works
