Recovery Update

Everything has sort of been a bit of a roller-coaster lately with the recovery and rehab programme but I am making progress.
I have days that are good and days that are not so great, depending majority of the time how I push myself on those days I feel good. I am still learning to be patient and understand that this will not be fixed or fixable and that my body will need plenty of time to adapt.
The progress... as much as I love the gym programmes... (not really at all) they are helping a lot and my stability and support has improved significantly since the beginning. We are progressing at least on a monthly basis with this and the riding is going slowly but happening. The running has come to a complete halt, I tried and it didn't go to plan as my body can't take the impact and sets me back too far. So walking fast is the substitute again. Fun fun.
I am working hard- definitely in a different way than I am used to but it is paying off. This may be a long road but I know what it feels like to be fit, functioning properly and the feeling of getting lost in our wonderful trails for hours. One small step at a time.
