Jenny  I am a Jenny Aged 84, our goals are much the same. Mobility is my weak link. I too would love to walk around my garden without a stick or walker-both for safety. Jenny

Hi Jenny, I'm eight years post stroke but still have fatigue ,  balance and walking problems. How ever, over the last year I've joined a Balance adventure group, Once a week  a qualified aged care fitness instructor takes us through an hour of gentle exercises to help us stand and balance . We build strength and flexibility in our bodies and then practise at home. Most of the class are in their 70.s or eighties or have a chronic disability. We all make progress and its helped us not to fall. There's Gogvernment information  called " Dont Fall For It" is also good.  You'll get confidence and improve your abitilty to walk and balance unaided. So find a qualifided  instructor at a community centre  or some where convienent,, and join a group to get support and build strength and confidence. It's helped me and made some new friends, I hope this helps you.  best wishes Dean. 64 SA.
