Hello fit pals
I am currently dealing with a broken leg (fibula fracture) that is slowly healing, I needed surgery so I am extremely blessed to have got that done.. I'm looking for some ideas to maintain my weight while I'm not able to do much exercising and some supportive friends, I'll be sure to return the favor.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Chronic Pain
Hii All ;) Following two road traffic collisions, I have been left with an incurable condition, CRPS along the left side of my body; making traditional exercising extremely difficult.

"Stress affects health." No duh!
I was doing great. Better than I had in a couple of years. Then life started happening. Husband's company closed the plant, but he got a new job with a longer drive.

Physicsl Therapy
I've started a new round of physical therapy, and I'm trying not to be too hopeful. PT fixed my wrist and my knee, but despite months of it, it's done nothing for my ankle.

The Wheels of the Wagon..... a bit cranky this morning?
So, a week on from my "Monday Morning is going well......" I'm going to apologise that I'd not posted before, but there is a lot going on right now, and one thing in particular is incredibly important to me right now, and I've only got a week to sort it out, so everything else went on hold... Well, last week, on Friday…
Thank you.
