- did get the trekking poles in the end yesterday... and I think they may work out... but have to get my muscles a little stronger first though... 

Oh boy, the trekking poles

Are at the moment proving

To be quite the work out on

The arms, they're burning.

So can't go very far with

Them just yet, still, I'm

Noticing less rubbing in hip

And knee, and that's good.

I'm encouraged even though

It's all very difficult right now.

I'm thinking with a bit more

Time, it'll strengthen me and

I'll experience the benefits

The stronger my muscles get.

So I need to be patient and

Persevere, it should work out.

My impression is that this

Will in fact be helpful once

My strength builds up more,

So sensing hope for the first

Time in a very long while.

Feeling like this may very

Well be the perfect option,

Feeling optimistic about it.

So I'll keep on and find out.
