Hey Kenda, that makes sense. I'm not sure where I'm at in the

equation, maybe Dr. Leu will be able to help me figure it out. I'm

not sure if I should be going for brief walks to stimulate the

lymphatic system, or if I should still be taking it easy. Seems

like when I walk I get tired easily, but wasn't sure if I should be

trying to slowly build myself back up or not. Do you know if that

includes things like yoga, or light stretching?

I feel like I am to the point where I can at least go for short

walks and do very light exercise - nothing strenuous. A few months

ago I had no energy at all, and couldn't have imagined doing

anything - but I've put my 10 lbs back on that I lost, and I do feel

more energetic lately. Joints are still bothering me, but I feel

like I could at least try some short walks - if I feel poorly after

trying that, then I'll know it was too much. My counselor said the

reason why I probably fell twice in four months time was because my

muscles were so weak, they couldn't support my body. The blood

pressure has stayed down, after spiking to 140/98 while I had

implants (before that it was 110/60). Today I checked it in the

pharmacy and it was 105/65.

Hi Kenda,

I've definitely always been a bit fragile physically, so I've

avoided aggressive workouts because generally I'd end up hurting

myself. However, I always walked for exercise, so I think I can

start out going around the block and just keep increasing it as I

feel up to it. Thanks for your suggestions.

You are reminding me of a few years ago when I went into Toys R Us

looking for one of those large exercise balls and couldn't find

them. The man in the store asked if he could help me and I asked

him (very innocently) if he had big balls. It sounded so funny that

we couldn't help but laugh - and I turned ten shades of red!

Oh Cherie, I wish you could hear the belly laugh that story evoked

in me! That is so darn funny!!! It reminds me of when I ran into a

guy I knew for years, and he said he had a house with a deck that

ran the length of the back of the house, and that I should stop by

to see it sometime. I in turn said " oh, I'd love to come by and see

your big deck " . As soon as I said it we both froze and

said " uhhhh " .
