I've re-started my back and knee exercise routine, and I'm currently in the phase where all kinds of muscles that had just been coasting along are complaining about having to do WORK. One thing I've learned is not to try to do it every day, but take a day off if I feel too tired or achy. I've always been on the slow side when it comes to recovery, and I can't expect not to be slower now that I'm Medicare years old.

So true. I recently saw it explained thus -- "I can do everything I used to do, just not as fast, not as hard, and not as long." (More or less; I didn't save the quote.)

Good luck.

Go you! Especially on the awareness of not overdoing!

[fred_mouse]

I feel like I'm one big ball of ow. I realise that this is a mix of having been on planes for far too many of the last 24 hours, plus a huge bit of aaaargh that came from missing a connection and then being in a rush to get to the new flight, but I'm definitely at the painkillers are no longer covering it point.

The good news is I will be in my own bed in about five hours, all going according to plan, and I have no intention of getting out except for necessities for 12 hours.

Let's hear it for comfy home beds!

Such a win. I really did sleep 12 hours, and I'm so much less grouchy.

My cat is at the vets, having extra blood tests and an x-ray. I need cheering up. I'm really frightened.

[fred_mouse]

Oh, that sucks. I hope you get useful information out of this. And that kitty is okay.
