Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
Look who I saw staring me out on the drive when I came back from posting a letter (Walker has arrived and helps and being able to sit for a bit gives me more confidence).
He, or she, is so thin. But normal for urban foxes I think.
Stay positive lovely
See the beauty in the small things of life

Went out with a friend today for a pub lunch and then down to the river to the big lock (left camera in car!). Very pleased to say that Willy Wonka (Moomy the walker has been christened) was a great help. Even took it off road across uneven grass which I can't contemplate with just a stick. Didn't go far but GOT OUT! And my new automatic car is easier too. Willy Wonka is fairly stylish too.
Saw GP on Tuesday and just had a call from her. She has spoken to my oncologist who thinks my mobility is probably not cancer related but ti have a spine bone scan to rule out spine mets. And then if this OK then refer me to a neurologist. We are all agreed that physio shouldn't be done until we know the cause. I have no pain just immobility and weakness. Quite typical of onset multiple sclerosis but it would be bloody unlucky if this was the case! I'm sure it's not. Just glad doctor is taking it seriously. It has coincided with taking Letrozole so I am not convinced it is unrelated. But we have to investigate. I like a good puzzle and problem solving - but not this way lol.
Going out again tomorrow to meet a friend at a food fayre in Helmsley. Me and Willy Wonka will be good to go.
Enjiy the nice weather everyone xx
