"Given a sense of purpose"

I spent nearly two weeks completely bed bound including a period in ICU following a hospital admission through A&E. 

At first, when I got out of bed, I couldn’t even walk to my bedside chair. I was anxious about my lack of fitness as I had a big op to prepare for. 

Joe S, the Friends of the Cancer Centre Physical Activity Coach, provided a programme for me which got me exercising in the ward.

Once home, I attended his online classes.

I structured my week around exercise. As well as helping me physically prep for the op, it gave me a focus and a feeling of control. 

I would highly recommend this or a similar service.

I now feel confident exercising on my own and the mental and physical benefits are hard to overstate.
