Forgot to post my 47 minute brisk walk yesterday.

Won't be walking tonight ...

I decided to kick off my trousers this evening and stubbed my toe on the corner of the open bedroom door! Wearing footwear now a bit uncomfortable. No broken skin but think I've bruised a couple of smaller toes.

Also, I seem to be turning into a wuss! Bad cold. Going to bed lol!

Sounds like you have had a tough time in the past @notned.
I have met good and not so good in NHS. i think the health professionals have a lot to put up with, from the system, which is overwhelmed, and from some of the patients, who need a lesson in good manners.I was appalled at the way some patients behaved when I was in hospital earlier this year.

People do get muddled with physio and occupational therapists. They often work in a team. Physios mainly work on the patient, while OTs on the environment and any equipment the person needs. Particularly relevant when someone is to be discharged from hospital, so logical that OT would be last of the team to see you before you went home.

Hi Pipp,
Sorry I missed this - I've got a new car so I'm occupied for a while - only polished it once, honest. "'Ello John, gotta new motor?"

I really don't try to knock the NHS - on the whole I've found their attention (for want of a better word other than service) excellent. Like you I'm appalled by the behaviour of some patients. Towards the end of the last century :)-)) I spent a month in a large private hospital for a very serious spinal problem - my first experience of hospitals and all that goes with those sort of problems. After they operated, for four weeks (the first attempt to get me out failed) the only medical person I saw, except the agency nurses, was my neurosurgeon. Subsequently I spent some months at the NHS unit at Lodge Moor Sheffield. Every Monday all the medics involved, spinal specialist, doc, the boss, nurses and physios had a meeting around my bed (and every other bed I hasten to add. The private hospital cost BUPA £15000+ that was in 1990!. The bed was £300+ a day!

The physios at lodge Moor sort of oversaw that element. OcTher were different, but attached.

Now that IS straight from my daughter! You don't get one without the other you know (not actually in a storm anyway).

...even so, the thunder doesn't bother me at all but still dislike the lightning.

...been away since Sunday evening with my brother and sister, we visited Margate, Broadstairs, Canterbury yesterday and stayed at Sandwich last night....plenty of walking...not brisk, more of the strolling type but we clocked up a good few hours, were walking most of the day when we weren't driving from place to place and many of the places we walked around were steep so I hope I can count it as my exercise.... the meals out were a bit of a challenge, so much lovely food available and I was a bit higher carb than normal but not too bad....back home and back to normal now!

I have a gruelling exercise plan for the next 6 weeks! Starting with morning walk when the lazy lot are busy lounging around in bed! Put on 2lbs this week which I'm sure is water retention. Stomach feels bloated. Drunk loads but not peeing loads. Waiting fur other half so I can cook tea. Bs up too. Not eating bad stuff so attributing to heat! Frustrating though. Keep walking for an hour on a 2 day basis. Walking every day but not always for the hour.
 
Um, I haven't actually done any exercise today........So I'm sneaking away right now......
 
A whole day of tourist stuff in my home town. Much walking, with many rests on convenient seats. Not sure how I managed this but also climbed and descended a lot of stairs. Must be mad in the heat, but occasionally I get a day when I can do something like this and I grab it.

Very sore now but happy. Probably feel it tomorrow and the next few days, so I will be in the swimming pool as much as I can before it gets filled with kids off school.

Brilliant Pipp, well done you!
 
15 mins on bike , then 1/2 hr racing round Asda. Back home to a couple of hours limewashing gable end( only to head height as I am not getting up scaffolding) then backwards and forwards with buckets of water to wet down hessian that helps slow curing down. I ache all over now.

Now that deserves applause. Exercise that is actually hard work.
Feel very lazy by comparison.

Pesky school kids. This is why teachers should get paid more. They annoy you for 13 weeks a year. Imagine what it's like for a teacher who has 30 of the buggers for 5 hours a day!
 
We have at least 8 coats to do so it'll be ongoing exercise as long as weather holds. I get an afternoon off tomorrow for a trip to see CBT therapist- as I sat and cried for the hour last week I think limewashing might be more fun.
 
Back still giving hassle, and 4 hours driving didn't help - neither does the ibuprofen so far. One thing I can manage is climbing stairs, so since I'm at our office it's back to the 11 floors of climbing again! Also done a couple of 10 minute walks to and from dinner.
