Walking Therapy


Sonja: As per doctor's orders I went on a walk (or two) every day after surgery. The first outings were terrible. All previous fitness had been killed off by the anaesthetics. After twenty minutes I was done and ready for a nap. Today, one week after surgery, it was the first walk involving a mild hill climb. I had to watch out for uneven grounds, and make sure to make proper use of both of my legs: No limping! It went well today, more than one hour walking without any issues. I'll be baack!

  4. In this two-wheeled, four-wheeled, motorised world we often forget how pleasant it is just to go for a walk and enjoy nature at a slower pace. I'm sure you'll be glad to be back in fighting form but meantime, enjoy the experience.
