I know exactly what you mean about bending and kneeling...I look like a toddler getting up sometimes!


Running is not an option for me - - but twice this week I took the dog for a walk in a meadow near the house. Found out really fast that walking in meadow is much more difficult than pavement. Lifting my legs to 'clear' the uneven ground was fine for a bit - then I felt like the weights got strapped on. I slowed the pace, but once I began to notice the shallow breaths; I stopped to 'enjoy' the scenery.

It took a lot longer to get home than it did to walk out!! I keep hoping that if I do a little more and then a little more, I can work up to a decent long walk like Jana was talking about in another thread. (Even though neuro has said that this is not a 'conditioning' kind of thing. Somedays you'll be fine - - others not so fine.)

I used to be very athletic and strong - now not so much. I do miss many things - but am glad for what I can do. I think the most difficult thing for me is that I can not do as many activities in a day as before. I used to be on the go ALL the time - and now, I can try for either this or that (but not both) in the same day.
