Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey maryruth: I understand how vacations do this to us. We over do it, we get out of our comfort zone, and many symptoms come back with a roar. I bet you know exactly what to do if you¹re at home. But on the road its not easy. But I bet its so worth it to see your family and your granchildren. That¹s the reward. I am praying for you. Don¹t be afraid to ask for help for your leg pains too. rosemarie > > > > > > As most of you know, I am in AR now visiting with my son and his wife so I > can spend some time with my grandchildren.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Today my son is taking the group to go hiking. I told them I could not go as my legs were still not right. I can not handle the walking, etc. My son was upset at first, but I did not budge. Everyone is now gone. I am here with my dog and peace and quiet. I am going to work on the computer and relax. I have a load of laundry to do. They have the netflix set up so I can watch movies if I want. I have school books to read. I have fiction to read. Nice relaxing day. take care, maryruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I ended up sleeping about 2 hrs. I then ate and watched three episodes of Quantam Leap from season 2. They were good. I only ended up reading a short bit. After my nap, I felt soooo good after my nap. My aches from the past few days are gone. I even did our laundry. We leave either tonight or early tomorrow morning. My travel buddies say in the morning. I would rather get on the road tonight and stop somewhere. ttyl, maryruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Today I got registered for my school residency for this coming week. I took no nap today. I also did a lot of walking so my legs are killing me. I figure this week coming up will be filled with pain with me unable to rest or sit much. Ugh. I am visiting with my daugher, s-i-l, and 3 1/2 mo old granddaughter. I have to finish my school work tonight. I am hurting so much. I think I will take my computer to bed and work from there, after taking some pain meds. I will not be on much unless I need to vent. maryruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
