~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Love Seeing your quotes in the Morning, Its makes me smile even thought its been a rufff few days and months! Went to see my Psychologist yesterday and it had been 6 weeks since i last her and it was a hard session but feeling ok after it

Ended up not Racing My MTB on Sunday cause i needed to buy Full Faced Helmet and i couldn't find my size :( Went on a 15kms ride in the Glenrock MTB track i really like it there.

I'm abit sore but that my own fault, I have a really bad back and and nerve pain down my leg from the nerves, also Varicose Veins in the same legs as the nerve pain + Cramps + Muscle Spasms. I have an App for a Vascular surgeon on Friday but also tempted to Cancel as i like to avoid 🤣

Also i have been looking at doing some Upgrades to my MTB, Doing some colorways on Chatgt and these were my top 2 Options, Need some help picking Colorways for New Pedals and Grips, Thinking More Option 1 but also love how Bright the Orange is. What does everyone think?

Option 1

Turquoise Pedals + Black & Turquoise Grips

Option 2

Orange Pedals + Black & Orange Grips

What do you all think? Also Sorry for tag if you dont like to be tagged 😐

Hi @YETI-Bear I have really bad varicous veins.went down surgery path , got put on back burner. last time anyone checked (15years ago) deep veins were still okay .

Got told not to bother as never get done unless private health.

My father regretted getting his done, not sure why. anyway keep exercising re veins, walking and weights prob good, dunno. someone wouldnt massage my legs yest as said on form had varicose veins, not sure why said it now. Current school of thought is could damage them somehow(?) sounds odd. Enjoy your bike whatever colours you go with :)

Although all of us know suffering is often very painful, ugly, dehumanising, and demanding, it has a great spin off's for survivors who overcome. For suffering always gains love, goodwill, forgiveness, let going of to hard, true strength, ability, infinite patience, heartfelt empathy, and a mind full of insights and renewed wisdoms - all in all suffering has taught, and is teaching me, to appreciate the truly good things in life like nothing else has.

@Taali I can so relate to this! I often wake up tired, then spend hours trying to get to sleep!

@YETI-Bear I am a turquoise fan so I'd be going for turquoise and black 🥰

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Definitely option 1 and I'll fight anyone who disagrees with me!

Hiya @YETI-Bear Taali here

Just so you know I loved being tagged here

I'm currently fighting the temporary to finish my very LARGE packet of BBQ chips

It seems I'm losing the battle 😕

Enjoy being you Taali 💚
