I will be going in to have prescriptions refilled in another month or so and I have that on my ''to do' list.

I think a good whine or a good cry is the way we get the bad stuff out of our systems so we can keep on going. <br /><br />So sorry you have to miss the first day of a class you enjoy so much. That's the evil part of having limitations. There are things we really want to do and sometimes we just can not. And sometimes being a grown-up about it is tough. Sometimes I just want to throw a world class tantrum at the unfairness of it all.<br /><br />You and I - we have been having conversations for quite some time now. I know that you are not one to dive head first into a pool of self pity. I really debated about this post, for I usually don't do posts like this. But this time I felt like someone somewhere needed a little bit of encouragement. I'm glad if it helped you in some small way. You need to know that it works both ways. There have been times when your comments have made things better for me. <br /><br />So go - rest - do whatever you need to do to be able to attend the next class. And then tell me all about it. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-35203837584416538052017-06-29T10:24:30.550-05:002017-06-29T10:24:30.550-05:00I really needed to read this post this morning. I ...I really needed to read this post this morning. I was/am in a whiney mood.. I crashed yesterday from doing too much. No, I did not physically run into anything (thank the Lord) but my energy drained away in the afternoon and I felt punk. So that means I need to be an adult and have a quiet day today. Not what I had planned. I'm signed up for an over40s water aerobics class that starts today. It's in an outdoor pool, in the middle of a park and surrounded by huge trees. I look forward to this class every year. It only runs 8weeks and I've got to miss the first session. Whine-whine-whine. <br />So what your wrote was important for me today, thank-you so much.

Seems to me all they want to do is run expensive tests, send you to a specialist and prescribe drugs. I'm learning all I can about herbal alternatives, mostly because I believe they are better for me than a pill with a laundry list of side effects, but partly just to tick them off when I refuse their pills. I'm sort of ornery that way. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-25737192863723714302017-06-29T06:39:28.359-05:002017-06-29T06:39:28.359-05:00Well said!

My apartment is just too small for it to be useful here. I can still manage indoors. But it is just the ticket for when I want to spend time outdoors. It is easy to maneuver and I can sit when I need to. The rollator you describe sounds perfect for those who have the space to use it.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-27658310346636185622017-06-28T21:45:06.316-05:002017-06-28T21:45:06.316-05:00Thank you, Rev.

once in a while ...hi.<br />i want a rollator eventually.<br />once in a while aldi's grocery store has them.<br />it is a walker with a seat.<br />if you are crippling you can roll from where you are working at the table over to the oven without having to haul yourself up in order to limp across the floor.<br />shouldn't replace walking when you are ale but can be a real asset when you are down.<br /> last year they were 60$ but i hadn't the lucre then. waiting for the next chance.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-25846655695116466392017-06-28T20:01:52.993-05:002017-06-28T20:01:52.993-05:00What Gorges Smythe wrote, above.
