Guys, I posted this a little while ago but I reckon it needs another run!
Compelled to shout out
about the benefit of exercise despite any physical limitations. I have bone and
brains mets. I have always been active but last year certainly tested my
resolve. I had fractures and both femurs due to the affects of a bone
density drug. I now have rods in both femurs. Return to mobility
was arduous as I re-fractured around the rods twice in both legs which set me
back twice after surgery. To think end of 2016 I was in a
wheelchair and now feeling better than ever.
I thank the team at St. Vincents who first
started me with hydro therapy to get my muscles activated again which then followed
with gym sessions that were designed to improve my balance and strength.
At that time I registered with Plenty Valley Community Health (03 9409 8787). I am now doing two
gym sessions, designed for me, under supervision out of Mill Park YMCA at a
cost of $5.50 per session and so enjoying it. I put on 10kgs in 2016 through inactivity. Thus far I have chipped off 8kgs and hope to be back
to my original weight soon. Had a set back with brsin surgery end of 2017 but looking forward to getting back into gym. The upshot is I am
so enjoying the exercise and interacting with people and my body has become so
much stronger. I now have confidence in my body which I had lost
completely. If you live in the Northern Suburbs, recommend you get in
touch. You will need a referral. As they say - you
lose it if you don't use it.
