Surprise, surprise!!! Thought I'd start the thread for the week.
I didn't see one posted so I thought I'd make an attempt at starting it.

Man!! I've been super busy the past two days! It never even crossed my mind!!
So THANKS!!!
I did go exercise on Monday. I did 8 min on the machine and 23 laps. I also did many other physical things on Monday and I am still suffering today.
Had spinal decompression today. NEED neck decompression!!!!
how 'bout you, Wolfie? Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
i guys. i am sooo tired all the time now. maybe the moving. maybe not eating right on trips and not taking supps and meds right. i have not had this profound fatigue since early lyme many yrs ago.
i was supposed to pack up and drive north today but the rain is stuck over us so i am waiting til tomorrow.
etta gets haircut in nh fri
i'm in a macdonalds parking lot in nj and the car that just pulled in has bumper stickers that say "Maine Women LEAD" and "i own a horse and i vote" dont see too many mainers down here
the apt is emptying out...but there is still sooo much stuff...my hands complain!
not sure if i told you a man tried to walk in my house when i was there the other day...it was scarey...its hard to sleep now.
heard from pigwit-hes well.
so my exercise is trying to move stuff and pack but showering and brushing my teeth feels like exercise now. oh yeah...sometimes i walk etta a little when i walk to the dumpster. thats about it.
hope things get better in the spring
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Sorry to hear, kayak!! Hope you feel better once all the stress of moving is over.
Very scary about someone trying to get into your apartment!! Glad you are safe now.
Tell pigwit hi for me next time!!
Praying for you, kayak!! Posted by aklnwlf (Member # 5960) on :
Cleaned toilet and one bath tub yesterday. One load of laundry when I get home.
Took my nephew to get the results of his MRI today. He has a ruptured lumbar disc and I'm taking him Tuesday morning for an epidural.
Hoping and praying that will help him with the pain. He's a teacher and hasn't been able to go to work yet.
TuTu-I'm going tomorrow to my soft tissue massage therapist. I can't wait. I got issues!!!
Kayak-Moving ALWAYS wears me out. Hope you recover quickly. With all that moving what are your plans for Turkey day?
BTW, where's everyone at? I kinda feel like I'm in the twilight zone without my buds.
See you all tomorrow!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Where's kam?? I didn't see her on FB today either.
Wolfie.. hope your nephew gets relief. If I wasn't afraid of steroids, I would get a shot too (or two of them). One for my neck and one for the lower back.
Enjoy that massage!! Posted by kgg (Member # 5867) on :
I always worry when KAM disappears. Please let me know if you "see" her anywhere.
Hope you are OK, KAM!

Hi KGG! Long time no see!
My therapist worked me over today! Had some ribs to close together and he worked on my bad shoulder and my s.i. joint that's giving me fits!
I feel better.
Hey all, I finally thought of a way to get some exercise since I can't walk around my neighborhood due to safety issues.
I'm going to look around at second hand stores for an old threadmill or something.
Christmas is right around the corner and I guess this would be a great gift for me.
Wish me luck finding something I can afford!
See you all later!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Good idea, AK!!!
kam has not posted on FB in the past 21 hours.
I washed tons of clothes today. That was it.
Posted by aklnwlf (Member # 5960) on :
Hey, where is everybody? I slept in today and put in 3.5 hours at work and am doing blogging right now before calling it a day.
Still taking it a little easy since I tweaked my S.I joint from pulling weeds and scrubbing the tub the other day.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
OUCH, AK!! I overdid it at exercise (again).. sciatica rearing its ugly head tonight. Hope I can sleep.
Did 8 min on the machine and walked 20 laps.
Kam has still not shown up on FB. Kayak is traveling, Six is at a wedding. Who else are we missing?

Did you sleep tutu?
I have not been able to do the 10 min loop in the forest for a while.
But, I did travel in the power chair to the Rock Show only to find out it was today instead. (I thought yesterday was Friday)
I think it took me about 30 min to get there via the power chair.
My body is still hurting from the outing. It was good to be out but wishing I had a way to transport the power chair.
The trip would have taken 5 min via the car.
Being able to read text on the computer has been very limiting lately. It hurts just to look at the computer.
I do go out to the trailhead when able. I drive on the road and Rosie runs.
She has been wanting more exercise lately. Gives me "the look" several times a day now to get out of the apartment.
A quick trip in the power chair is not doing it. She wants the off leash time so she can stretach her legs.
Good to see she is more active. I was considering taking her to the vet to get checked out this summer as she was so inactive.
Turns out it was just the heat. She would get overheated just going across the street via my power chair in the afternoon's.
I must admit I do have the holiday blues too. But, have noticed that when my health is able to do a little something the blues aren't so bad.

anybody have a treadmill they would recommend to buy? With the cold, rain, snow, and ice this winter walking outside will be hard. I would really like to buy a treadmill but they are so expensive for a good one. Looking for a good cheap one if there is such a thing Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Lyme Brain again...
Got a call from Bountiful Baskets to come pick up my basket.
I thought today was Friday. TWice this week that I have gotten the day of the week wrong.
Able to carry box into house. But, resting now. Then hoping to wash fruits and veggies and put away.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Marcie...thrift shops are big here and yard sales.
But, we only have Walmart for shopping here.
I see the treadmills at these places all the time.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Kam... you had us worried. Was afraid you had gotten the flu or something.
so did you get the basket?
I did not get much sleep last night. I'm pooped today. Back still hurts. GRRR
Posted by jimmy1 (Member # 33504) on :
Holy moly, it's the 19th. I'd better get outside and ride my bike before this Exercise week expires...
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Been hiding out, huh Jimmy!? Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
kam good to hear from u but it worries me u riding the chair so far...what if it broke down
pleas be careful
yeah-i'm traveling and not online at either house so cant get to u guys often now...when i settle in nh i'll get net again
i drove 91/2 hrs...stayed in camper...got ettas haircut (she looks really cute but is having problems from vaccines she got last sat)
then drove 3 hrs up to house-unloaded 19 totes in the dark-lost my phone outside til morning...and i am slowly putting stuff away so i can take empty totes back for the last load
my oldest son and his wife are supposed to come to nj at my 2nd oldest house for turkey day...i'm looking forward to it but now there is that big storm and i hate when they drive in storms to get to me...
after the storm i will probably make my last trip up here even tho i have to pay rent til 12/31...i dont want to drive in storms...so far i've doged them but its gettting harder
packin and unpackin...thats still my abusive exercis
OH---TREAD MILL ALERT!!! i have one i would give away but it is so heavy it would probaly cost too much to send it to anyone...its at 03570 right now
i bought my elliptical at walmart a few yrs ago---it was very economical and good quality-same ones they have at golds gym...about 200. but you have to put it together yourself...and its hard
Posted by jimmy1 (Member # 33504) on :
Whew. OK, one quick ride over the river and through the woods: Check.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Sounds like fun jimmy.
Able to do the 10 min loop in the forest.
I have been tried stopping meds and supplement.s
I have tried cutting back on them.
But, back to taking 2 biaxin and supplements today.
Hopefully I won't space out again or go in what I call lala land and loose days.
I did get the fruit and veggies. It is called Bountiful Baskets. They are in several states.
$15.00 Makes it easy for those of us with health issues. We just need to pick up the basket.
Spinach, pears, celery, apples, tomatoes, pineapple, red potatoes ( don't think I can do those so will put them on the free table here at the apartment), tangerines, banana's...I know there was more but my arms are too weak to continue to type.
Posted by jimmy1 (Member # 33504) on :
Good job doing the loop, Kam!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thanks for checking in, kayak!!
good job, jimmy and KAM.. glad you got the basket!
Posted by aklnwlf (Member # 5960) on :
Went to the grocery store and picked up a few things. Finally bought a turkey, about a 20 pounder.
So, hauling that thing around is my exercise for the day!
TuTu-I hear sciatica and S.I. joint pain are very similar. I feel for you.
Kam-So Rosie gives you 'the look' too? Rocky does this....looks away while I'm eating to prove how good he's being so he'll get some food. He has no shame!
Marcie-I'm looking for something too. I'm going to check out the thrift shops like Kam mentioned.
Jimmy-Envious that you're out riding. I had a bike but gave it away because it made me feel guilty. My dog would have tantrums cause he couldn't go with me.
Kayak-Egads!!! Just reading your post wore me out! Are you hanging in there with all the work of moving? I hope you don't have to cook on Turkey day to boot!
See you all tomorrow!
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Thx ALW for starting the thread this week.
I was reading someone's post on here and got wore out just from reading it too.
I also had the thought of asking a physical therapist business on what they would recommend for those who wish to exercise indoors.
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
just checking in-no real exercise news. i have gotten 2 really good nites sleep so that is good. i'm gonna slowly continue to unpack so i have lots of totes to take back. i sure hope next trip is the last.
i'm supposed to cook just a turkey breast and the minimum of fixins for my 2 oldest and their wives. the wives might help a little. one is bringing yams...theres noway i can wrestle a turkey anymore with my hands. and they are at the worst they have ever been with this move. last nite i couldnt type or even push the microwave buttons...
theres a bunch of emotional stuff going on with both couples so i sure hope it goes ok. all 4 of my kids have stuff going on now. ususally i can brag about how good they are doing. when i realized how they are all struggling now i got kinda overwhelmed and i just had to let it all go. i sure cant fix it. i did my job...now i'll just sit back and watch it unfold.
i'm just gonna try to enjoy any little time i have with them...i see them so rarely...and focus on taking care of me.
i figured out how to put a chair in each room so i can sit and have a good view of the mountains...i didnt do that before. i like it.
there really is too much stuff here and i wish i could give that treadmill to one of you who need it. maybe i'll start a new post...maybe there is someone closer who could use it.
