Yes, go for it Kathy! its a great sport, you are never to old to try it. If you were closer I'd offer to teach you!

Thank you all for your kind comments. I am enjoying a more positive frame of mind at the moment. The change is slow but what I noticed was at first every day was a nightmare, then you get the odd hour that's ok, then the odd day until that turns round and you get more good days than bad. Its a slow process and I still go backwards sometimes but my recovery time is better. It doesn't take me as long to pick myself up and move on anymore. I'm getting stronger.

Marlene, I like the saying: Life giving you lemons-make lemonade. I've never heard that one before! Very true.
