One day at a time Mark stay in the present, buddy.
Youll get back to where you want to be, takes time.
But embrace and celebrate what you can do and not what you cant do YET.
Yet is the key word

Yes good advice Andy you echo my wifeās continuous message as I spend too much time in the future and not enough in the present.
YET is a great word and perfect mantra

The future has itās place in our thoughts but it can also hold you back if you let it. Itās great for aims and goals but if youāre seeing it as āis this how my life is going to be from now onā, those are the sorts of thoughts that hold you back. Theyāre non motivational or inspiring, theyāre negative thoughts and are best steered clear of because they can actually stunt your progress.

It works for me buddy.
I attended my first gigpost stroke on Friday night
Was standing up for over 2 hours, didnt use the pushchair much. But should have as i got hit hard by fatigue yesterday. But we live and learn.

Totally agree Lorraine, already getting about better it is like I was moving fro a quad stick to single stick, takes a bit of adjustment.

Yes absolutely Iām on the verge of a new chapter
Managing fatigue and balance and waking up muscles not used in anger for 3 years, plus walking is the most complete exercise for a man or woman and I am loving it.

My thoughts exactly Lorraine, it is liberating but I keep thinking Iāve left my stick somewhere. What a Burke

You too. Mine comes in very handy to help close doors especially with my frozen shoulder & not being able to stretch my arm out to reach
