sk101 67 Posted November 6, 2016 I found coping quite easy after the first week. Follow the advice given by your team, don't rush things and don't let your brain overcome what your body actually wants. The mental side of things is the key here I think. If you get yourself into the right mindset all will be well. Good luck for the 9th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RosieCheeks 105 Posted November 13, 2016 Hi SK101, Apologies for the late response, I've been super busy workwise recently and just ignored the board. Welcome, glad you're doing ok and you've found the board valuable, I did/do too. It's great to have somewhere to bounce things off, as well meaning as people are, they don't understand fully.
