An odd few days
Having to REALLY learn to temper what I do physically.
Far too easy day one, to feel so good and slightly exceed myself in the mistaken belief, I'm pushing myself , in a good way
and then spend one or two days recovering.
I think I said I bought a kick scooter (you know, the kids kind)
Idea was to use to free me up, expand horizons, beyond just these four walls, until I heal enough to walk any thing beyond 50 paces.
Worked too
However, it's real purpose was to join Lauren & furry nephew on walk around our favourite gardens.
Bottom line
But off more then I could chew .
yep failed miserably..
poor obs,
let wishes overcome reality.
Pathway all around park
Tarmac surely ?, well it was in my head.
Nope.. some kind of pebble infused sand/concrete
The scooter was fine, the 1bhp engine however, not so fine
A hard push even on the flat, but add in any uphill gradient, and it was more trouble then it was worth
Though the hills down were..WEEEEeeee
They were too few to mention
Cue, me trudging behind pushing scooter, like some brat hanging back because they didn't get the ice cream they wanted.
Even had Lauren , take scooter off me so I could concentrate on walking
Ego bruised, lesson learned
Upside is, nephews wife kindly lent me e-scooter.
Unsure if I'd use or like..mmhh.
Seems I can.
Seems I do
Just have to overcome the illegal aspect of it, and trust in the scooter massive, cloaking me from the long arm of the law
May have to get a tattoo and a cut off leather, if I'm going to pull this one off .
Going with
"Sons of Agony" for the top rocker on back
It's quite a heavy e-scooter, as most are I suspect
So in my current state, it's
Lift
Step one
Lift
Step two..etc etc
To bring back in to house
Yesterday, doing my step dance,
Plagued by bumble bee that rather annoyingly, buzzed me every step of the way ..ggrr.
A rest day today featuring.
Pacing & patience.
My new watchwords
Off to make that tea I promised myself an hour ago
