Afternoon Tea boy. My first and second attempt were disasters and no physical problems just visual, week out of hospital still confused got up made tea for my wife/carer put cover on to avoid spillage as bit wobbly , got back turned on light 2:30am, forgiven ,second time disaster but 50/50 as I bent down wife suddenly lifted head hot tea on head and bed cloths ouch !
Over two years on now no more mistakes in that department . My favourite white mouse I couldn’t be without to avoid spillage. Cheers

[tricia3]

that was in january with chest infection

[mrfrederickson]

Thanks Simon can you please elaborate, I would love to kick start my left arm with any proven exercises

[EmeraldEyes]

@mrfrederickson Have you tried any of the exercises from these videos. They’re not dissimilar to the ones I did back in the beginning. I think the hardest part back then was the motivation, until I learnt to utilise my home in order to get something productive out of it at the same time

Ju peddled 3 kilometres on my exercise bike.

[EmeraldEyes]

Hey that’s good distance, well done, keep it up I didn’t have an exercise bike but I do have a pedal exerciser I used to use whilst sitting in an upright chair. Useful for anyone who can’t afford the bike or haven’t enough room for an exercise bike.

[Mrs5K]

I use an exercise peddler too. It was cgeaper than exercise bike i use it whilst sat at my desk although I find if im pedaling I can’t do anything else & if i’m doing something else the pedaling stops. It’s a useful way to keep my legs working though.

[mrfrederickson]

The bike has been invaluable to getting movement in my leg, the arm and hand is still stubbornly silent
I can move the fingers to grip my good wrist but the arm hangs by my side these past 2 years

@Mrs5K

although I find if im pedaling I can’t do anything else & if i’m doing something else the pedaling stops.

Oh yes, there’s that too. Can’t multitask in general the same as I used to. Even star jumps at the gym, they can one or the other, or I’d wind up in knots and in a heap on the floor

[mrfrederickson]

My wife insisted it was fold away so easily stored, once sat on it I watch television or a dvd and peddle away I find motor racing the best it’s quite a procession

[EmeraldEyes]

…and speeds up your peddling I bet

[mrfrederickson]

I never could tried my hand at jive dancing and was banned by the instructor after knocking 3 people over in the first 5 minutes

[EmeraldEyes]

I could never dance anyway, always had two left feet.
