Yesterday it was one of my goals to go walking with my physio and my wife following me with my wheelchair as a place to rest. I was walking around the park up inclines and down slopes plus navigating a uneven terrain section to cross a small wooden bridge

I then made it to the towns lucky dog

I made a wish and headed back to the car totally worn out but pleased with progress. I’m resting up today so I’ll be able to get some bike riding tomorrow.

Oh that is absolutely wonderful, and you did it free hand…no sticks :partying_face: :partying_face: :partying_face: :clap: :clap: :clap:

For you arm/hand there are probably a lot of very tight muscles around your shoulder blade and below your arm which could probably do with a little deep massage, a pummelling to get them loosened up as much as anything.

Just what I needed to read today I’m feeling very down. I needed to read about people who are trying. I’m just not at the moment. There is also some element of courage here which I’m also sadly lacking at present!

Hi georgie22 sorry to hear you are feeling less motivated

Courage is part of self belief. Just think of how good you will feel with a small goal achieved

@Georgie2021 sorry to read you’re feeling so down. Try setting yourself some small goals & aim to achieve them or progress towards in a realistic amount of time. As you build things up gradually confidence will also build.

Sometimes getting started is the hardest bit. But once you’ve made that step you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Sending my best wishes to you.
