I am very excited to finally have a new bike!
It is a folding bike (as modelled and recommended by my good friend Jenny!), so we can take it places for me to ride instead of walk, and I can get on and off it without balancing precariously while trying to lift my leg over the cross bar!! Have had a trial run to town and school and all good so far (as long as I don't over load the panniers!)
My physio came to visit me at school last week. She brought a stool on wheels for me to try out and also chatted through other things/strategies that might make my life easier and help me conserve energy. So far I haven't been great at putting them into practice but aim to try!
Thank you for all your messages and prayers. I am very pleased to say that I have had no pain in my hip for the last couple of weeks which has been great and I've been good remembering to use my stick. I used it at school for the first time in Outdoor Learning and one of the children asked "Why have you got a stick? You're not old!" which kind of made my day!
