The Life Of Kathe: Who Said Having A Disability Couldn’t Be Fun?!!!


"Who Said Having A Disability Couldn’t Be Fun?!!!"


The time has now come that I need to start using cane!
Having Fibromyalgia and Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, along with a badly sprained ankle {we are now 8 weeks +2 days}, I have now resorted to using a Cane to help me get around.


I really wanted a Cane that screamed “Kathe”, and this Cane was perfect for me!
I love the pattern on it, it reminds me of my {many!!!} Jacqui E dresses!


It is height adjustable, and my Physio, Matt from Physio 54 adjusted it to the correct height for me.


Also, it is a folding Cane, which means it can fold up and fit inside my handbag!

Because I am now using the Cane {which my daughter has told ALL her friends about – (she and) they love it!}, I have had to change handbags, so I have gone from my black Kardashian Collection handbag {thank-you AliExpress!}, and reverted back to one of my 10 Kathy Van Zeeland Handbags {thank-you ebay!}. 
The reason for the switch is I needed a longer handle/strap that I can sling over my shoulder, + it is roomer to fit my Cane in!

Sue from Access Mobility was my “Mobility Specialist”, and helped me choose the Cane that reflected my personality, and I am rapt with Cane that I “walked” away with!
After all, “Who Said Having A Disability Couldn’t Be Fun?!!!”

Here are some piccies of my Cankle … cringe!

So This Is Why Exercise Is Bad For You …

My Mom and I recently decided to take up walking twice a week, for our own health.
Our first day was last Tuesday, as soon as I put my Asics running shoes on, I could feel them rubbing.
We walked to the Mall {ran some errands} and back, and I knew before taking off my shoes, I would have a couple of juicy blisters.
Our next walk was on Friday, and as my feet were still sore, I wore Ballet Flats.
We walked to the Mall again to run errands, then added an xtra bit to our walk {of course we had to stop at the Dairy on the way back for a Magnum!}.


By the time I got home, my feet were now weeping!
Yesterday {Sunday} I had a good friend who is also a nurse bandage my foot, and just now taking the bandage off, this is how bad it Is now looking  …


 I tell ya… so this is why exercise is bad for you!
