Hi Jess (fellow burst fracture sufferer)

Am through 4 months and brace free and it is obviously getting better.

I am not into reading, don't especially like TV or even watching DVD's and usually not into walking BUT I did enjoy the walking, perhaps because I had to do it relatively slowly, I was noticing far more and instead of walking for one hour, how about doing 2 x ½ hour walks.

Before I was able to drive I jumped a bus just for a couple of stops, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE, brill.

Call it being a bit weird but I even bought a pedometer, I am still wearing it and I can gauge how much I am walking, for me it is all motivational.

I spent a lot of time on my laptop trying to find out more about burst fractures and other such exciting subjects.

Keep in contact with friends, even ones you have lost contact with, today is another day nearer being brace free.

Take care.
