If this arthritis( all forms) left us tomorrow ha-- what would you do first that stops you now? Me i would walk and walk, to do that and not be frightened of falling over,because you are so exhausted. Thats mine now yours-- Pat w

I think I'd go horseriding on a white sandy beach, I wouldn't care about a sore bum!!

I would love to come home from work and not be exhausted and aching; to walk as far as I want, without tiring and limping; to be able to play chase and run with S .... and not to have to watch how many spoons I am using up. However this isn't going to happen - so back to the real world!!

I would love to go back to work full time and do nvq2 in youth work and more volunteering.. really miss working with the kids..

In my first pregnancy, as often happens, my R.A. just left me for the duration. It felt incredible. Everything was so easy it was as if I was walking on air. No such luck during my second, though. No third.

If it went now I'd get in a game of cricket.

Get myself back to work so OH could stay at home and have a more than well deserved rest :shock:

MissKat

I'd go for a run... a really looooooooooong run... I miss pounding the pavement & working off the days stresses that way...

Hi Pat,

Difficult cus there is so much I need to do first.... mind since its something you would like...

I would get hold of a really good horse and ride a dressage test.... i got to intermediate before the stiffness in my back meant I couldn't move up. I also would love to do a open cross country... long as the horse wanted to and was willing As i remember they usually are.... sometimes a bit too willing Cris x

I would learn to dance, I always wanted to do ballroom dancing and planned to do so once I retired - I thought it would be a good way to get out and meet people and have some fun. DD

PLEASE can I join you, skezier? I only ever got as far as RDA's Preliminary Dressage Test A ( I could never ride right to the side of the arena cos my feet stuck out at right angles and got in the way) but, if we're dreaming, I think I could handle a good cross country gallop.

Hi Pat
Like you I love to walk, when my sons were young I would set off with the pram and walk 6 miles to my parents...then I god my beloved dog...I used to walk her for miles...she used to let me know when she,d had enough and i would carry her back
The second thing is my garden...it makes me so sad to see it at the min...but I never give up hope...I am thinking of adopting an old dog that walks has slow has me.. and my oh say he will make me some raised beds in the garden

caroldeeg

I would go for a walk along the beach and get some sand between my toes, I used to be a good walker, but now I walk with a stick and can only do a short distance,

Hi Pat

Oh my so many choices?

Staying awake on my days off would be a start! :roll:

Sorting out my sadly neglected garden would be high on the list, but for fun I would so love to be able to ride a bike again.

best wishes
Chris

I would dance. But I know what my OH would want!

Hi Pat.

never mind things could be worse. joan xx

stickywicket

Hey, dachsund, why not join skezier and me? We're doing the odd dressage test then going for a cross country gallop. Fancy it?

katie5

oh to dream!!

would go dancing (miss it so much)
would take up a sport instead of just watching it on tv
play tennis or badminton or anything with my kids without ending up in agony.
would attempt to climb Skiddaw with my OH - had to give up part way (well near the start to be honest)

gosh i could go on all day with this one must get back to reality quick !!

katie xx

dachshund

:oops:

I can guess Elizabeth!

I would give Val a hand at her house if she helps me at mine!!

So that's skezier, skinnylizzie, dachsund, madwestie and me for the horses. Maybe we could start out with a dawn beach ride, dressage followed by games, then a long cross country in the afternoon. (Might need a change of horses.) After that it's up to you guys as I have to be back to star in the Twenty/20 cricket match in the evening.

Toni you wouldn't believe it but today he said " could you lay on the floor and finish fixing my brake cable on my Lambretta for me" so I guess that is what he really wants!
