    @westiemom , oh thats not good, you take care, wrap up warm and go easy. Yes have a rest from exercise when you feel unwell. I was at the GP Monday to find i have a nasty chest infection…. Onwards and upwards. We will get there.

    Hi Westiemum, wishing you loads of luck. It does help thank you. This is a good forum as you don’t have members telling you how great their bend is and how great their journey. Members are kind and like minded souls on similar journeys which really helps

    Hi, is it normal, (knowing there is no normal, or only normal for you) my knee seems to be getting worse, 14 weeks now, more like a board everyday Bend seems to be disappearing. When i try and bend its like a brick wall, that i cannot even force any further than the wall.
