Hoping for better days

Hi ridetbred and welcome to the group. Good to hear you’ve finished treatment. The recovery process does take time and a lot of patience. Your body has been through a lot and you need to make sure you’re having plenty of rest to allow your body time to heal and allow yourself to build back up slowly to your previous level of activity. This is admittedly difficult if you’re impatient to recover. I mistakenly thought I’d be back to my usual fitness levels within a couple of months of treatment but had to learn to take small steps on the road to recovery. Also, it’s quite common to take a backwards step now and then. The soreness and pain does fade but then sometimes seems to come back for a few days before fading again. It can be frustrating. Hang on in there, things will improve. Bev 

Thank you for the encouragement!

I hear you!  It is 12 weeks today since I finished treatment and I keep wondering when I am going to get my energy back.  But is is very slightly better week-by-week, and I think I am going to have to accept that going out with no escape route is going to be similar to when my daughter takes her baby out - wet wipes, nappies and a change of clothes!
