Two steps forward, one step back.
Yesterday was a real classic case of “two steps forward, one step back” for me. My hubby and I went to a museum for the first time since I started on LDN. Normally (before LDN), I’d use my power for such an activity but yesterday I went in without any walking aid. I was doing really well and walking seemed almost effortless (what a change for me!). I found myself fliting from one art piece to the next. Movement felt so fluid and easy. Well, my body just isn’t used to moving around so much. I ended up getting badly overheated. I immediately started feeling really lousy, and when we entered a part of the museum that was sort of like a mezzanine, I had a huge vertigo reaction (one of my usual MS symptoms if I fail to remain cool) and I ended up cutting the visit short. I had a wonderful time, but felt like kwap by the end of the day. I just love having to get used to being more mobile!
