Enjoying Holiday

Spending a few days in Finland - and despite plenty of time sitting around on planes,trains and automobiles.. the back and leg held up OK.. but as always, the situations mean you forget about stretching etc.

Watching some professional players of baseball warm up the other night, and was amazed at the amount of leg stretching they did before starting, using some rubber bands to pull against. Then seeing all of my older relatives being still able to easily touch their toes.. a bit frustrating I still can't do it. Progress is just above the ankles.

Today I was encouraged to try at climbing wall, and not just a vertical one - it had an overhang. Being above 80kg and not doing any work on my strength I thought this would last a matter of seconds. I was surprised how far I managed and how far up I got. Again incredible that I was able to move my legs and body to do this - when less than 6months ago I wasn't walking.

Next week is the MRI result.
