In two days I will be 38 years old and I certainly feel all of those years. I haven’t really improved much this past month. In fact I’ve had quite a few stumbles and falls. I tried to ride my push bike after it has been gathering dust and cobwebs for 10 years, but this wasn’t very successful, in fact it was madness and I have the bruises to show it.

The arthritis in my feet and ankles have added to my falls. I am seeing the Rhematologist on Wednesday (my Birthday actually- what a nice way to spend it) hopefully we can do something to remedy the situation. I feel really frustrated at the moment that I’m not progressing more. I started going to a personal trainer today to work on my balance using pilates – hopefully this will be a positive albeit an expensive move. I will still keep up my other exercises as well, especially the ones that I was doing in China.

I’m sure with a two week break from school coming up I can get some much needed rest as my running aroung with the boys will have reduced. We are about to celebrate Easter in Australia which is an important time in the Christian Calender.

SO HAPPY EASTER!
