I worried that i might trip or fall and my wife coming out with me really helped me, but I was also worried about what people thought of me, how I looked. That really affected my confidence. Once I got over that I started to go out more, taking little steps, building up my stamina and pacing myself.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the bus was new to me as I had always driven before. That was a challenge! Balancing, stepping up, getting my bus pass out of my pocket and holding my shopping bags. Not to mention getting to the seat before the bus took off. Although I now ask the driver to give me time and I can challenge people who are sitting on the disabled seats where they shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like I am mobile again and fitter to take on new challenges. I have started volunteering for Chest Heart &amp; Stroke Scotland a few days a week. I\u2019ve even took driving lessons and now I\u2019m back behind the wheel again. Being fitter has helped me take on this challenge.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/div>  <\/div><!-- end div.wp-spoiler -->\n<div class=\"reflect\">\n<h3>Something to think about<\/h3>\n<p>Do you think you can add these suggestions to your daily routine?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was filmed with the kind permission of Stagecoach East Scotland.
