…now depends on many factors. How did I sleep, the weather, did I drink enough (and I don’t mean alcohol), how strong are my back pains, were the last days physically exhausting ?
In another life I have always liked to walk, I have never been a runner rather a walker. But I did this extensively. The camera backpack on the back and go. From Stüttgenhof through Lindenthal to the Rhine. Along this to the Südbrücke, over the Rhine and on the other side to the Hohenzollern bridge /Dom. Light candles in the cathedral for the grandparents and the effzeh. To drag me to the Rudolfplatz, to have a look in the shop window at photo Gregor. And finally take the line 7 home.
And today I’m glad when I walk 800m with the walker or walk through the bathroom hands-free without being knocked down by the hangover.
My sister is of the opinion that I would be seen at 6.00 in the morning (first tablet intake), but at the latest when I go down the stairs to get outside, how the day will be.
She also hears whether I am tired when I am driving on the rollator (uneven rolling due to swaying).
Not only that I am infinitely slow (for me the normal speed is already slow motion) and also my complete body feeling /~ perception is shifted. Especially I notice this when I stand in the door frame and try to bring my back completely to the frame. Then I have the feeling that I have to go back much further than how I feel.
Meanwhile I stretch myself at every aufsteheń, no matter if I climb out of bed or get up from the chair. In the morning before getting up I stretch the hip flexors by letting one leg hang out of the bed at a time. Several times a day I support myself on the wall or windowsill and try to move my hips forward without letting the heel of the leg that is stretched backwards lift off the floor. Depending on the shape of the day, I manage to walk 3 steps upright before I am pulled down again with my upper body.
If I then try to rebel against this by tensing my abdominal muscles, everything I have drunk before comes back up again.
What we at NeuroPhysio have been doing from time to time recently is a kind of circuit training for all extremities and from all sides. Right side – belly – left side – belly – 4 footrest – heel seat – on the knees- and finally stand up over the right leg.
If I have stretched or been stretched in every position, walking is much easier for me. My orthopaedic physiotherapist also gives me tips and training strategies for a better gait pattern.
I also try to do a lot about weight shift, which, when I try to walk freehand, looks like a dancing bear on the move. And when I try to get out of bed, I feel like a little seal on the prowl.
If I want to start moving freehand, I have to balance myself first and then courageously move my left foot forward first. Once I get going everything is ok as long as there is no slope coming towards me.
In closed rooms I am sometimes a bit complicated. I always belong to those who drop everything rather than run 3 times. It is so to speak deeply rooted that when I get up I have something in my hand. Accordingly, getting up is usually a bit difficult. In these situations I sometimes only needed my little finger to get hold of something. Or the other way round it only takes a touch to get me out of balance.
On a day like yesterday it is really suboptimal with the movements. It was quite warm and oppressive. The first round of physiotherapy still worked out quite well. When I filled up the tank I was already slowing down. On the way to the second round I had the feeling that the heat was already building up inside me and was glad not to have to do any active exercises.
I would like to sit somewhere and pour cold drinks into me.
