It's strange but I was only thinking about what it would be like to be pain-free this morning. My legs are really aching today because I walked round the shops yesterday (serves me right for spending money :roll:)
I used to walk for miles in the countryside, something which is now impossible. If I had a pain-free day, I would go for a long walk in the Derbyshire countryside and end up at a pub for a nice meal.
Swimming in the sea would appeal to me too, Val, but only somewhere nice and warm like the Greek Islands.0 -
I would like to go for a long walk too , But i would have to opt for cleaning the house , But on pain free days i'm too tired0

I'd tidy out the cupboard! Or the Jaws of Hell as I call it. I'd be able to stand on the step ladder and reach the top shelves.
I'd take a long walk along the riverside or the beach.
I'd do some shopping and marvel at how easy it is to carry a big carton of milk home, etc without crutches!
If I could afford it, I'd go to Edinburgh and have a wonder around up there.
I'd switch on my music and dance without looking and feeling like a complete idiot!
I'd go up and down the stairs a couple of times, 'Ooh'-ing at how pain free it is.
I'd hide my tablets away and take advantage of my brain being unfuzzed by them! Maybe watch a film I love all the way through, or start writing a blog!
I would hop about on my bad foot.
I would wear heels all day. (this one makes me sad as I haven't been able to get my foot in to a pair of heels for 2 years now! I love heels!)
Unfortunately I never get pain free days with my foot. It always hurts! And now my knees and hips are going with probable arthur... well.... it makes me sad.Life is just a ride. Up and down, round and around, thrills and chills, very brightly coloured and very loud. But don't ever be afraid, because it is just a ride.0 -
Oh Avrielle

Absolutely not! Heh! I haven't been pain-free in over 2 years because of my foot, so I would certainly make the most of it!
And you are more than welcome to join me. We could do a road trip!Life is just a ride. Up and down, round and around, thrills and chills, very brightly coloured and very loud. But don't ever be afraid, because it is just a ride.0 -
Just to feel and be normal

I'd take my children to Disneyland Paris and I'd go on as many of the rides as possible myself.

Ooh Val, I don't even need to think about this one.
I would take my dog for the longest walk she's ever had. Then I would invite friends round for a party, and dance the night away!
MMMMM

I can't remember painfree. Honestly. I remember I was, during my first pregnancy (He's 41 now!), when it all just disappeared and I remember it felt like gravity had kind of disappeared but that I never quite got used to this weird feeling.
I know what I wouldn't do -housework. I'd require 2 consecutive painfree days because on the first, wherever I went, whatever I did (country walk?), I'd get bladdered and need a second to recover. And I'd give Mr SW a night to remember :oops:If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I'd walk to the top of Helvellyn with my 11 and 9 year old
grand daughters. Havent been up there since 1983.0 -
Ooh, Avrielle's post has reminded me about how much I used to enjoy wearing high heels and going dancing! So if I had a painfree day, I would wear my high heels and dance till I dropped :!: Running up and down the stairs would be a long- forgotten treat too.
Hey Ichabod, I'd meet you at the top of Helvellyn too ( or even Blackpool Tower )0 -
what a great time we would all haveval0

Thanks val
Maybe just maybe we could also eat and drink anything we wanted without any repercussions??
After all it would be a miracle day

I would like my real leg back on this day too (if its not too much to ask)
Then, I too would run and run, Swim in a nice warm sea with my oh then we would go mountain biking, stop at a pub for lunch, do a spot of clothes shopping, I would help oh wash car, cut grass and then make him an incredible tea.
AND after all that I would still have some energy left for ?????

I would unscrew a bottle of fizzy pop and enjoy a long cool drink.
I would scratch the unreachable itch.
I would cut my toenails myself.
I would clean my own ears ............sorry :oops:
I would wash my hair whatever time of day it was and blow dry it so it looks perfect.
I would try on all my clothes and delight in taking them off again.
.....................and most important I would be a slave to Mr Legs and do whatever he wanted me too!
Luv,Love, Legs x

I would wish we were all pain free together on the same day evening. Everyone would meet up from the forum and have a good party the best party ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) love to you all JoanneJoanne0

Oh Val a pain free day... I would (don't look Tony) ride a horse and go swim with the seals and then go find my adopted grandson and have a really good time doing all the things he asks me to do that I can't or can only watch him xx do0
-
I would start day by doing some pilates (the tuffer stuff I can't do normally!) Then go and do some gardening, pruning and weeding. Might do some baking if I can get into the kitchen before OH (Chef (Ramsey) White!) shoo's me out! Put some slow music on and get OH in my grasp and have a smoochy dance!0
