Careful not to further the injury cjp. Can you maybe swim or use weight machines instead?


I hiked 2 miles, roughly.

Walked a mile, been in a really rotten mood all day. That's how PTSD is: you're mad and nothing you try can change that.

I made it to that gym I just joined yesterday. A trainer gave me and another new member an orientation to the exercise machines. It was kind of disconcerting that she wouldn't look me in the eye when I asked her about the machines I needed to find. After all, there were only two of us in the group she was making her orientation pitch to.

I still managed to wander around and identify the 4 machines myself that my physical therapist had taught me to seek out in transitioning from the hospital's physical therapy machines to the gym. I used them, and got out as fast as I could. I'm hoping to muster the wherewithal to go back today and start to establish a routine. It is not a friendly place to me.

That's great mujica. Good luck.

I hiked 2 miles about.

Handling all three at once is a bit difficult.

Way to go, Rizen. After work I'm going to that gym again today, Monday, that I joined last Friday. Looking forward to using their recumbent bike machines. They have straps on the foot pedals that can keep my numb feet going so I can get some exercise in spite of neuropathy in my legs from the knees down.

Wish me luck with the gymtimidation. It's a pretty real thing there, in spite of all the signs posted on the walls against it. Not a lot of people in there who look like me.

Good luck. Stay safe mujica. Maybe don't stay when it starts getting dark out so you can walk to your car in the light. Things have gotten really bad again in this country.

I walked a mile.

Thanks, Rizen. I followed your advice and left while it was still light.

While at the gym I worked the same machines I'd worked until last week, and then added one on my new trainer's advice. I rode the bike machine twice. It's all meant to help my neuropathy pain and the back pain I have from a herniated disk, and it does.

I started out in lots of pain, which always makes me wonder if I should go to the gym at all. But I walked out in less pain. That's a big relief since kidney disease keeps me from even taking aspirin for pain.

So glad you walked another mile today!!

it's helping you with neuropathy pain?! wow!!! this is really great news!

i'm glad that's helping mujica.

Walked 2 miles. I'm very worried about spanky the fascist toddler and north korea's fascist toddler getting in a nuke measuring contest.
