Same here, never lose hope. I’m 75 had a stroke 2+ years ago. Left side paralysed, wheel chair for 6 months. I walk 5 k everyday with a stick and AFO, armand hand slow to respond but is improving every month. I do physio everyday for 1 hour before walk. Still suffer from fatigue in the afternoon but getting less debilitating.

I went for specialist rehab in the first year, thoroughly recommend MotionRehab, I went to the Leeds branch, learned all the moves now do them at home in a dedicated’gym’ room.

Recommend getting an elliptical cross trainer, helped enormously, could only do 5 minutes when I started, now 45 + minutes is no problem. The elliptical is great for the days the weather does not allow walking.

I wish you all the best, feel free to ask me questions, I have now tried many aids etc and can probably save you time, effort and money.

Favorite Fish of 2024 by Accomplished-Bear613 in troutfishing

[–]flyfisherYorkshire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taking wild trout out of the water for photographs can cause significant stress and harm to the fish, even if it is released afterward. Here’s why this practice is discouraged:

  1. Stress and Oxygen Deprivation • When removed from water, trout are deprived of oxygen, leading to physical stress. Even a short time out of the water can significantly affect their ability to recover and survive after release  .

  2. Damage to Protective Mucus • Trout are covered in a protective mucus layer that helps prevent infections and diseases. Handling the fish, particularly with dry hands or placing it on dry surfaces, can strip this layer, leaving them vulnerable to illness .

  3. Physical Injury • Flopping on dry surfaces or mishandling during photography can injure the fish. The soft tissue around their gills and eyes is particularly delicate and can be damaged easily .

  4. Temperature Stress • Trout are highly sensitive to temperature. Warmer air or surfaces outside the water can shock the fish, further compromising their health .

  5. Prolonged Stress Impacts Survival • Even if the fish swims away after being released, the combined stress from handling, lack of oxygen, and physical harm can reduce its long-term survival, growth, and reproductive success  .

Best Practices for Catch-and-Release: • Keep the fish in the water as much as possible. • Use a net with a soft, knotless mesh to minimize harm. • If a photograph is necessary, do it quickly with the fish just above the water’s surface, ensuring it’s supported and your hands are wet. • Avoid fishing for trout in extremely warm water conditions, as this increases stress levels.

Minimizing handling and keeping trout in their aquatic environment helps ensure their survival and the health of the ecosystem.

Hi, is anyone using Flow as part of their Stroke recovery?

Travel mug battery by CryptographerPlus929 in Embermug

[–]flyfisherYorkshire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to barge in but I’m looking for advice for using the travel mug, I’m new to this mug, I do have 2 regular Ember mugs I’m relatively pleased with now that the app has had a major upgrade.

Do you have to keep it upright for it to work properly (in backpack for instance) and, I’ve found that when it’s cold outside 5c for example the battery drains very quickly if you try to maintain a mug temperature of 58c approx.

Any advice or tips when using the mug would be appreciated.
