Very pleased with myself today

Life after stroke
1

Hi Everyone, just wanted to share my achievement today. Went to Argos to pick up an order only to find that the lifts were out of order !! We live in a bungalow so I’m well out of practice using the stairs but thought I’d givebit a go. To my surprise I managed without any problem. Feeling very chuffed with myself and think I might use the stairs more often, it was definitely a good cardio work out. Nice to know that all of my hard work and effort over the years hasn’tgone to waste. Feeling very pleased with myself.

Regards Sue

Well done and congratulations Sue. I know how rewarding something like that can be because I have also surprised myself a few times with being able to achieve something that I hadn’t tried for a long time. It’s inspired me to keep on trying to improve my mobility because otherwise it’s so easy to give up when not a lot seems to be happening in the short term. Terry

Well done. Sometimes I can get up a flight one foot after the other and other times it’s two-footed. Always using a bannister.
