How are you dear friend? I'm sorry I missed some of the goings on over the last two weeks. I take it you're not in trike-riding form? Keep up the good attitude...it'll get you far. But if you can't, please come and lean on us - you know we're here for you! Anytime and always,

Thanks Peg, it is really comforting to know that. I am hoping to be back on the trike next week if the physio says it's Ok. I am doing all the exercises he recommends between visits to try to strengthen my leg. Doing it with both sides as the arthritis is all over. Doc said that the falls really stirred up the problems that were already there. Think I am stuck with the arthritis & degeneration but strengthening the muscles around the joints will help. He is going to have ago at my back as well. Used acupuncture as well as massage & electrical stimulation.

We missed you. It is really good to have you back among us even if you were having a whale of a time in Mexico. I hope you used plenty of sun block on those freckles.

Love

Liz

Hey, I still have to deal with my own physio and see what they have to say about my routine of walking on the beach and not following the prescribed

we'll find out Monday.

I'm a firm believer in following what the body knows....you know?

Best of luck with it Peg. The walking on the beach should have done you the world of good too. Didn't you do any of your exercises while you were away? Naughty naughty. I expect you were having too much fun.

Love

Aw Liz, do I have to be honest? None.

Well I expect you will get a very smart rap over the knuckles from your physio on Monday. Oh! well, maybe he will be a little lenient with you seeing you were having a well deserved holiday that probably did you more good than any exercise.

Love
