@pollyanne Good for you and yes it is important for your health to exercise. I haven't been able to because of my back. Have lost my stomach muscle tone and gained 11 pounds, although my endocrinologist said it was from The Tymlos I was injecting everyday to increase my bone mass. He said I could go off of it for 2 weeks and see if it make a difference, but I have to get my surgeons ok. My surgery is June 9th. I can hardly wait. I know I will have pain afterwards, but at least I will be on pain pills then. It much be frustrating having all those freqent bathoom visits. Maybe you should check in with your doctor. What a trip, that's one I wouldn't be able to do because of my depression and anxiety. We went to Paris a long time ago. My son was attending Stanford and he had an exchange with Oxford for six months. We stayed in Paris first and it was so cold that the top of the Eifle sp tower was frozen. Then we went to Oxford and I enjoyed my trip more at Oxford. Once I got home I had very bad depression. My doctor told me it was because I traveled a long way. I don't know, maybe it was just a bout of depression that I do get, but haven't for awhile.

June 9th is so close now. I'm sure that everyone on this site will be thinking of you. How long will you be in the hospital?
When we travel we try to go to places in their summer as neither of us like the cold, in fact my husband has a real problem with it. I think some of the November trip will be cold but a lot of it will be hot. We keep travelling as long as our health enables us to travel together. We have made a lot of friends through our travels.
I hope that when you recover from your surgery you will be able to walk and exercise again as I think it helps mentally as well as physically. I know it will take a while and you are bound to need physical therapy but it will give you a goal to work towards and remember, it will be baby steps at the beginning. Keep us posted and good luck.
