Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi Bonnie, My name is Blanca and I spoke to via e-mail and also on the phone. She seems to be legitimate. She is writing a book on JRA due to be out in 2002. She is interested in the parents opinion on how our children contracted JRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 , Kathy, and everyone else, YOU all are awseome and give me the motivation to this. Today is Week 1 day 2. UBW went okay except I finished it too quick and had my weights too high on some of my exercises. Not to mention my form was probably terrible, but it felt GREAT. Next UBW should be better, I'll adjust my weights and all should be fine. Looking foreward to some cardio tonight......I was playing around with my stair stepper nite before UBW and I could only go about 5 mins.......Is this normal starting out?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 I think we all go through that the first week, . I remember my very first day ... my workout took an hour and a half! I couldn't figure out how to change the weights at all! But things fall into place after the first few times. Good luck on your cardio! And congrats on your first few days! :-) Cristi c1w9d2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 From: Maggie Lavin Re: men in postnatal groups This week, we had three dads (as halves of couples) in our postnatal chat group. Afterwards, several of the women sought me out and said that the presence of the men had restricted the way they talked (specifically issues they mentioned were that they wouldn't be able to talk about bleeding, complain about their partners, cry, and that the couples talked together alienating the rest of the group). Basically they seem to want a women-only group. Previously I have had good experience of dads (not as a part of a couple) in such groups. I have also had experience of difficulties with changes in group dynamics when new members (whatever gender) join in, but never on this scale. I feel guided to gently encourage the raising of these issues next week for discussion. Am also very conscious of the unmet needs of dads and aware of discriminatory elements. Has anyone any tips for me? This is a tricky developmental stage for this group. Thanks Maggie Digest Number 762 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Maggie, Is it worth looking at the practice of conjoint marital therapies by longstanding practitioners like Dr. Crowe of the Maudsley Hospital ? There is an 'art' to couples therapy, and it may be very different from the single-sex groupwork you expected. My limited experience is of evaluating very different groups (e.g. for disability or palliative care) and in both cases an initial minority of male group members were, in effect, eventually excluded by the female majority and the female staff.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Deb Kudos to you for having the courage to go to the gym. I myself have gone the physical therapist route and things are improving slowly. I feel by going to a therapist he knows more of my limitations. He has also given me exercises that I can do at home. With being a stay at home mom thats a plus. I would try to stick with the trainer and if that doesn't work consider a physical therapist. That's whats working for me. Good Luck and I hope I was of some help. Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Thanks! I've done the physical therapist route several times. Usually for 6-8 months at a time. One was especially helpful. I wanted to try a different route (which is about as expensive for me) to see if I can get different results - also because it's so close, so there's no excuse about it taking too long to get there. Most drs and PT's have little to tell me at this point. They recognize that I'm in pain, and give me 'standard' exercises or drugs. I want to give the trainer a try to see if I can get off the ground and then just take care of myself. I went today for 15 minutes. So far so good. Time will tell. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop though - some kind of illness or pain that gets in the way - just like all the other times. > Deb > Kudos to you for having the courage to go to the gym.
