    What exercise have you done today?

    😀 I know how to do that. That is napping. I can really do that well. 😂

    What exercise have you done today?

    I learned something new from my physical therapist. I was trying to explain to her that the difficulty I have with some movements is that I have no sensation in that area. If I were to paint a picture of my body, there would be big holes. Parts of my feet and my back would be missing. She...

    Fed up? Feel free to vent here, and get it off your chest!

    I became very angry when I read that low blood sugar can lead to a low heart rate. I was held in the hospital for 3 days, and if they had checked my blood sugar, maybe they would have given me a cup of fruit juice and sent me home. On the other hand, could I have died if I was not lucky...

    Fed up? Feel free to vent here, and get it off your chest!

    My rant is I have had anxiety attacks most of my life, and after an emergency room visit a couple of days ago, I learned the symptoms of low blood sugar and an anxiety attack are the same, and small glass of fruit juice will resolve the problem. Excuse me?! Shouldn't it be policy to check a...

    What exercise have you done today?

    I am blown away. I didn't think that was possible! I thought I was doing good to use 2 pound weights. I better up my efforts.

    What exercise have you done today?

    Exactly! I wasted a year in the gym doing things with the wrong muscles. Now I am ecstatic about being able to stand with my feet together. It was impossible for me to get my legs together when standing, but they formed a big inverted V. I was so embarrassed, and walking has been difficult...

    What exercise have you done today?

    Many years ago, I microfilmed old newspapers for a college library. I am telling you this because one newspaper had a cartoon about a woman's fitness program. That was back in the day before all the appliances we have now. 😂 Scubbing clothes by hand, beating dirt out of a rug. Many had...

    What exercise have you done today?

    I am so glad I asked my doctor to refer me to a therapist. I have been exercising almost daily for a year and not achieving what I need to achieve. This therapist paid attention to what I was doing. I had my daughter use my phone to video what I am doing, at the therapist's request, instead...

    Eating Chicken can kill you

    Okay, I will throw away the chicken thighs I forgot in the oven and cremated. They didn't taste good anyway. 😂

    Cardiologists Office Just Called

    To my surprise, I came home from an emergency room visit with a heart monitor. The nurse who told me to go to the ER said my symptoms sounded like dehydration. I expected to be given an IV with saline water and go home in a couple of hours. Three days later, I come home with a heart monitor...

    Do you have experience with cataract surgery?

    Another vote for the benefits of cataract surgery. I was as blind as I ever what to be before the surgery, and I have never regretted having the surgery.

    Remembering your childhood disappointments

    When I was about 7, Bobby Meninhall's family moved away. I don't think he thought of me as his , girlfriend, but he was special to me. He was always getting into trouble, and I intended to keep him out of trouble. It is nice to have a sense of purpose, but I never saw him again.
