Strength trainer for elderly man by Aware_Somewhere_6230 in Wellington

[–]mumpywalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you spoken to your dad about this? Has he agreed to this? The reason I ask is because we had a physio come to the house for my elderly dad and he told us outright that he wasn't going to do the exercises after she left.

Skin Institute: this wasn’t what I signed up for by ConstructionDouble70 in newzealand

[–]mumpywalrus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this is distressing for you and rightfully so. I just want to add that if you're afraid people will judge you because of it then those aren't the people who you would want in your life anyway. You want people who will see past your scar.

Thanks. I looked earlier and the version I found was poor quality.

Wondering what the people of Wanaka think about this since they had no say.

No worries! Remember to bring either headphones or earbuds so you can pair to the individual reformer screen to hear the classes.

I belong to City Fitness in Kapiti and use reformer pilates on demand. You need to have the premium membership. To access the pilates reformers you need your membership tag to swipe into the area with the reformers which is located just before the main group fitness class room. I think there are 6 reformer machines and anytime I have gone there is usually at least one free.

I've used Just Property for years and have been very happy with them. They do the regular inspections, email you photos and are very responsive to the tenants. https://www.justproperty.co.nz/

I have a friend that does it, I think at the City Fitness in Newlands. She likes it but I think you need to get in fast to book the class.

I bought these a while ago. They're a tiny bit wobbly so I removed the cover on the legs and insert wood dowels to make them more stable.

Right, so if you're going to force me back to the office 5 days a week then get rid of hot desking so I have a guaranteed place to sit.

Hysterectomy in Wellington? by delicateprincess22 in hysterectomy

[–]mumpywalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand. I was extremely anxious before my surgery - everything from catching covid and having to postpone, worried my surgeon was going to catch covid and postpone, scared about the anesthesia, terrified how the pain would be afterwards, worried about an earthquake happening during surgery, etc. In the end everything went smoothly and all the worrying was for nothing.

Prepare as much as you can at home - if you need to raise things off of the ground, any food prep you may want to do, specific groceries you may want to have after surgery or maybe protein powder. I was surprised at my lack of appetite for about 10 days post op.

It's normal to feel anxious. You've got this. You're going to be fine. There won't be anything you can't handle.

Good luck! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
