Walking back to Happiness

Leolady56 in celebration of the first anniversary of Walking Back to Happiness how about some sort of group virtual walk? As many posts as possible - we could aim to set a record for the most walking posts in one day? Any walking counts (we are never judgemental) even if it's just a circuit round the house (I didn't venture out the door, the day after my op, for starters). 

Maybe we could plan a real group walk somewhere sometime? 

And I like Violetsniff (otherwise known as super cool dude)'s idea of a party!

Both the virtual walk and the actual walk sounds a lovely idea.  We could have 3 or 4 different locations but all go the same weekend.

My virtual walk tomorrow will be from bed to shower, to chair, to cake tin, to chair, to bed.  At hospital today.  Skin healing issues  on boob and tummy wound pulling a bit.  Bloody physio - stand up straight and stretch that wound - so I have and now some minor tearing! Boob the worst due to thin skin.  Back to hospital on Wednesday.

But hey - all steps count.  

And it is a lovely thread Leolady56.  I will be searching out those good walks and lovely pics just as soon as I can xx

that all sounds like a right load of old poop that you're having to endure, but definitely like the idea of several different walks on same weekend. And for sure all steps count. Maddening that following physio instructions has actually caused tearing, ouch ouch ouch. 

Hope there are good cakes in that tin, you need an incentive and a treat! Lots of gentle hugs, NNxx

Awww,pauvre ..!!!!

I feel sorry for you.That horrid old physio..they can be a bit bossy!!My first foray out of bed after my DIEP,was shared by 2 physios ...shouting at me to stand up straight...but I couldnt-I fainted!!...so dramatic!!

Then I wanted my catheter to stay in longer...yes,I know,I know,..it makes you walk to the loo,when it is out,and can have infection repurcussions,and cause lack of tone for passing urine...etc etc....you know these things but hey,I even wanted one if I went flying!!How coooool is that?!

(yes I was quite a rebel)

in your walk dont forget the cake tin!and I hope that tender skin heals up..(oooch!sore....)

I have to add HappyFeet1....that I was wearing my T shirt saying .”Scotland the Brave”.(which I wear ,when I am not feeling very brave.)I wore it when my Night Nursing Sister took me  to my first appointments when I was discovering whether I had cancer.

(She offered to take me immediately she knew..)

She smiled.

(She is a super cool dude.)xxx

ooo and like the ideas of the virtual walks..xx

Awwww, dear AnnJac, pesky physio! Hope she gets the blame officially!!!!

one of my non NHS friends called them physio-terrorists! And I suspect yours qualified, tearing your wounds open! 

Hugs xxx

Oh dear, you're having a right time of it!! Hope you've got some nice cake in that tin!!

Xx

HappyFeet1 well done. Yes we are one years old today. 

Not going too far as snow is forecast but I will pop on later with a pic

words fail me about the physioterrorist too. And cake is good for mending I asked my daughter - the nurse.

A virtual walk in the spring what a bonsai idea. Right I think that is perfect. We need to get some central places and do it.

So happy days for those who join us here for one day, some days and every day. May our year ahead be filled with good walking, jogging, skipping, exercise weather and may it fill our hearts and minds with the joy of living.

If anyone fancies York as a venue there is a lovely walk along the River, both sides.  Or the walls.  Both take about an hour - the river walk is the easiest.  And all being well I would be happy to show the way and arrange a meet up from railway station.

GREATTTTTTTTT one.

I live in Bucks so we do have lots around the Thames, nice and flat 

Hope you are feeling better this monring

Gentle hug

Great ideas, I'm in Hertfordshire and happy to travel! London, Cambridge, Beds, Bucks all quite easy to get to. Lovely image, the march of the wonky boob brigade all over the country!
