Long time lurker

Hi Helen

You can ask the physiotherapist on exercises on improving 

1 balance 

2 strength in your legs and core.  

I found just by doing some things gives me a sense of control and well being. 

I remember after I had my big operation, I went for a walk and tripped over. I could not possibly got up and was really embarrassed. I also lost confidence to go out on my own. But through exercise, I learned how to get up on my own and able to go out again. 

But this all takes time and persistence. Be kind and patient to yourself. Keep Going x
