The funny looks and awkward questions. However nice they may be you still feel inside they're thinking something different.<br /><br />Sounds good, I shall take a look at fitbit :)<br /><br />Thanks for the link. :)bazmufc8491https://www.blogger.com/profile/12459383114874902831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442252822738766885.post-5656247127278937792014-02-05T02:25:44.730-08:002014-02-05T02:25:44.730-08:00Hi Barry. Sorry to hear you have this horrid old ...Hi Barry. Sorry to hear you have this horrid old ME thing. I do too.<br /><br />Like you I have limited mobility. I am fine in the house, but use a mobility scooter outside. Hard to get my head round at first, but I actually found that getting it allows me to walk the dogs every day - get up some SPEED, and to feel the wind in my face. For me these things are liberating. <br /><br />I use it out and about too, but find that easiest amongst either complete strangers or with good friends who've seen me on it often before. Toughest thing is meeting old friends for the first time again since I've become so disabled. I'm sure you understand.<br /><br />I also use a Fitbit to measure my steps, and that way have mostly managed to avoid pain and relapses. It tells me that I rarely take more than 50 paces (slowly) in one go, and also that I average only 600 paces a day now. www.fitbit.com<br /><br />I too keep a blog (somewhat erratically) check out sallyjustme.blogspot.co.uk<br /><br />Best wishes.
