To reduce the pressure on her knees with the exercise bike. She needs to set the saddle up higher so that her quads are more engaged to take the down force pressure rather than relying on her knees. Try it. Get her to try a few different heights so that she no longer feels it in her knees but all in her quads. It will make a difference.

Might help MMG out to set the bike up properly if he's not aware of it?

Hi Guys,
i want too thank FTE 217 and all the other guys for their support and kind words. I dont want you all to get the wrong idea that my wife stayed at home all day long and stuffed her face full of food. she suffers from Epilepsy from the age of 15 years old but hasnt had a seizure since she was 23 years old. The mediation she takes makes it hard to loose weight also. So as her anxiety got worse and she gained more weight i came up with an 'idea. As they say ' you have to be cruel to be kind". I came home and said "i dont want to come home and find you on the carpet suffering a heat attack. A few weeks later she went shopping at Aldi and brought an exercise Bike and i put it togeather. when it was stuff i had this forum to get ideas, support and blow off some steam so thank you so much all of you. |

Yep you got to be cruel to kind is an ol goodi, though some in todays world would suggest thats too hardline.

Hi Guys,
I love driving so the Saturday just gone 13th/7 i got up at 5am and left Goulburn at 6am just myself and my camera. First stop Braidwood for a cup of tea and something to eat. Then onto Batemans Bay, then went to Narooma looking for whales didnt see any this time and i thought bugger it might as well go to Eden which i did. I did ask my wife if she wanted to go when i woke up at 5am but she said it was too cold so i went by myself. I came home via the Snowy Mountains Highway Via Cooma. Now on my travels it gave me plenty of time to think. Theres plenty of people who suffer from Anxiety, my wifes one of them and plenty of famous people also so your not the only one. When i returned home my wife said " its good for you to have some time to your self and do the things you enjoy. |

Partly. I mainly take photos of the car now. Unless there is a lightning storm then Im out. Instagram is not the place it once was so I have shut down my account there and I post landscape photos on Vero instead.
Photography is another great outlet. I find its peaceful and gives you the ability to think about nothing else than taking a great shot.

That's what prompted me to ask the question. Glad to hear you're still out and about and that it's something you still find enjoyable, even if you're not doing as much as you once were. I miss seeing your shots in here. You have a great eye and skill

Every guy needs something to do to help them feel accomplished or fulfilled outside of the regular duties of home/work. It doesnt have to be anything as big as what Im doing. It could be going for a bushwalk or riding a bike. You could have a small hobby in collecting things of interest or building an engine, geocaching, star gazing, photography, reading a book, etc. it doesn't have to be much. but it needs to be something you are happy to wake up each weekend or day and say, "Im looking forward to doing that". PS - Congrats on 12000 posts.

I've had people tell me I should have hired staff for my own business, which would have increased my output and taken some load off my own body. But in my industry, customers are hiring a particular person's ability and knowledge, not an offsider who may not be as particular or skilled as I would be. I also wouldn't have the flexibility of when and where I fit this into my week, then naturally having to deal with all the baggage that comes with hiring someone. I doubt it would make a profit either.

After a major anxiety/panic attack a couple of days ago, my daughter ended up at the local hospital's emergency department for help. Thankfully, she had a pretty good experience and the crisis has been resolved. A lot of hard yards now to get things back to normal though.
So, I just wanted to share that it's always ok to not be ok. If you feel that things are not going the right way, seek help before things get to a crisis point. There's absolutely no shame in having to reach out to people and ask for help. Just as most people would not feel ashamed if they sustained a physical injury that required them to visit the local emergency department to get treatment (for stitches as en eg). Look after yourselves and your family, folks.

All the best for the family, brother.
We all get the wobbles from time to time.

All our dealings with the Dept of Education, Workcover, QSuper and solicitors are finally finished.
My wife actually drove the car a couple of weeks ago for the first time in a couple of years. She only went into town (about 10km) to the chemist and a blood test and I will admit I was on edge at home. 3 hours later she came home and told me it was just like riding a bike. Apparently there were 17 in front of her for bloods. She has willingly driven a couple of times since some of which were no choice as I had been in hospital for a few days. I am now seeing an improvement in her outlook although she is still having some pretty poor days. She seems to bounce back faster. It's been hell for a couple of years but I can now see light at the end of the tunnel for her. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this improvement continues at whatever pace she needs. |
