silly neuros... They don't know us!

Go TEAM!

In the last 36 hrs I have walked from the Bainbridge ferry to the Seattle lightrail throught the airport. Then I walked from one end of O'Hare to the opposite end and then slept on the worst hotel bed ever. I actually woke up twice in the night with numb hands from the stress on my back. My sister's surgery went well - looks like she won't even need chemo. My niece's husband was knocked off a 30" roof yesterday, and he's in ICU with broken 3x pelvic, sacrum, ankle and heel. Thank God no internal injuries! And my bro-in-law is healing from his burns at home. Now nobody else get hurt or sick! I am not kidding!!! I will Kick-some-AS!

Go TEAM!

that's a lot of walking!

sorry about the bad bed!

and especially sorry about your families illnesses and injuries! you are correct, no one else is allowed to get sick or hurt!

I went to the gym for 30 minutes today... Now i'm tired and sore!

A lot of walking today. Our regular 2 miles in the morning. Then I went with a group for 3 miles during the lunch hour. Then a friend wanted to go for our regular afternoon 2 mile walk.

Go tomorrow and the soreness will to away!

Woohoo!
Go TEAM!

I surf and it's the best thing for AS, my Dr's encourage me to keep it up as it moves all the right parts of my body without over doing anything, as you lay on the board it forces you to lift your head keeping a nice and healthy arch in your back and neck. Legs and feet are also kicking so you're moving everything at once. Getting up on your board using you arms then moving your body into a crouch then finally standing is good all round movement.

Ok it's not ideal for people with AS who are landlocked, but if you're near a lake and know someone with a board just go for a paddle for 10-15 mins+.

If you enjoy sea side vacations it's obviously going to be summer and warm. Warm temperatures, vacation, surfing, relaxation = good head space (low stress) and full body movement helps keep the pain of AS away.

I've recently had really bad inflammation in the rids, I haven't been surfing for 2 months, last Sunday I had an hour in the water, now my ribs are sweet!...for the time...:-)

Give it a go!

That's right! Everybody fit all the time!

I actually got to swim a little tonight at the hotel pool... now I get what Dow is talking about with swimming short laps. 30 minutes
