WEDNESDAY

WELP  I GOT A BOOK THAT'S REALLY FUN ITS CALLED SHOE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS ITS KINDA FUN, AND BEING AS ONE OF THOSE SHOE ADDICTS MYSELF I CAN RELATE.

WE WENT TO CHANDLER YESTERDAY AND WE GOT SOME STUFF FROM TRADER JOSE AND  WENT TO THE BOOKSTORE WHERE I READ S\THE SHOE BOOK AND THE LIBRARY HAD IT READY FOR ME TO TAKE HOME.

OUR LIL TOWN IS GETTING SO BIG, WE HAVE A NEW METAL SHREDDING PLANT MOVING IN SOON. WE HAVE_THE FRITOS FACTORY A BABY FOOD FACTORY AND ONE OTHER HI TECH THING I CANT REMEMBER AND NOW THIS ADDED TO ALL OUR PRISONS WE HAVE LOTSA JOBS HERE.

IM SURE ITS GONNA BRING MORE FOLKS TO LIVE HERE. WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW APTS BUILT AROUND THE CORNER FROM US. GOOD THING I GOT THEM TO CLEAN UP THAT CAR SALVAGE YARD IT IS NOW LOOKING VERY NEAT AND CLEAN SINCE MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR GOT THEM FLYING HAHAH.

THERE IS A HUGE FRYS MARKETPLACE OPENING UP   IT WILL HIRE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FOLKS AND THE BANKS  AND THE NEW SHOPS PLUS AROUND THE CORNER FROM US IS ANEW MEXICAN RESTAURANT OPENING UP IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL SHOPPING CENTER WITH IT VERY NICE LOOKING PLACE . THEN THERE ARE THE OFFICES GOING IN BY THE LAKE  BEHIND WALGREENS .

WE ARE GETTING SO HI CLASS HAHA SOON WE WONT HAVE TO GO TO CHANDLER ANYMORE. THE SHOPPING CENTER HAS MORE STORES OPEN NOW AND THEYRE FINISHING UP ALL THE  ROOT STORES. WE HAVE YET TO GOTO THE 16 MOVIE THEATER COMPLEX, CANT GET DAD TO GO .

HE IS GONNA MAKE ME CRAZY HES GOES NOWHERE EXCEPT THE  COFFEE PLACE  HE IS BORING ME TO DEATH.

I MAY HAVE TO TAKE A TRIP JUST TO STIR MY SELF UP.

I STILL HAVE TO GOTO THE CARDIOLOGIST AND HAVE SOME TEST ON THE 15TH.  MY CHOLESTEROL WAS 214 ACCORDING TO THE  SECREATRY BUT I THINK SHE READ THE OLD READING  THYE ARE SO DUMB ABOUT READING CHARTS.

IM ON A STATIN I CHANGED FROM ZETIA BECAUSE ITS SPOSED TO AFFECT YOUR LEGS AND SINCE I HAD ALL THIS CRAP DONE TO MY KNEES I GOT SCARED OF IT.

BUT I HAVE TO STAY ON A LOW FAT DIET FOR AWHILE ANYWAYS  ALTHO MY TRIGLYCERIDES AND GOOD CHOLESTEROL IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. I DONT KNOW WHY THEY BOTHER ME WITH THIS STUFF, I AM IN GOOD HEALTH EXCEPT FOR THE MESS THE  HORMONE THERAPY MADE OF MY HEART.

ANYWAYS ENOUGH OF THIS  OLD LADY TALK.

A GOOD MEMORY FROM THE PAST

MY VERY DEAR FRIEND  JUST SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE LITTLE BABY GIRL WHO ONCE WAS MY WORLD AND HER NEW BABY BOY. SHE IS NOW 24 YEARS OLD HAVING JUST HAD A MARCH BIRTHDAY LIKE ME. SHE LOOKS SO STEADY AND MATURE AND MOTHER LIKE WELL MADONNA LIKE IS MORE LIKE IT.

THE MEMORIES I HAVE STORED OVER THE YEARS I HOPE TO SUSTAIN ME IN THE YEARS TO COME, AS YOU AGE YOUR MEMORIES BECOME  MORE CLEAR THAN YOUR PRESENT YOUR SHORT RANGE MEMORY IS COMPROMISED AND LONG TERM  TAKES OVER. I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY WE REGRESS TO BABYHOOD AS WE AGE.

I HAVE MET MANY OLDER PEOPLE HERE IN THE REHAB PROGRAM  AND THEY ALL HAVE SO MANY SAD TALES TO TELL, I GUESS THAT IS WHY I PREFER YOUNGER PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH THEY TALK FUTURE OLD FOLKS TALK PAST.

I AM TRYING TO LOOK AT FUTURE STUFF.

YESTERDAY AND OLD FRIEND AND HER SON CAME FOR A VISIT THE SON IS 39 YEARS OLD AND HAS A HEART VALVE PROBLEM LIKE ME ONLY MORE SERIOUS HE MUST HAVE A PROCEDURE DONE ON HIS HEART ON WEDNESDAY AND NEEDED A PLACE TO RECUPERATE AFTER THE SURGERY SO HIS MOM AND I  WILL HAVE HIM AND HER STAY HERE UNTIL HE CAN TRAVEL.

IT IS NO BURDEN AS WE HAVE 2 SPARE BEDROOMS AND THEY ARE COMFORTABLY FURNISHED  AND WE HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO HIM AS HE CANT STAND HEAT. THIS WILL REQUIRE MY HUBBY TO WEAR MORE CLOTHES AS HE IS ALWAYS TOO COLD IN AIR COND ROOMS AND I AM ALWAYS TOO HOT WE STRUGGLE ALL SUMMER WITH MY LOWERING THE THERMOSTAT AND HIS RAISING IT.  HE STATES HE LOVES TO COOK BUT HE WILL NOT BE COOKING MUCH AS HE WILL BE GETTING WELL. AND I SUPPOSE HIS MOM WILL PROVIDE HIM WITH FOODS SHE CONSIDERS SAFE.

I WILL COOK AS I USUALLY DO WHAT WE EAT WHICH IS NAMBY PAMBY STUFF WITH OCCASIONAL BURSTS OF DELICIOUS COOKERY. I DO ENCHILADAS AND  SPAGHETTI

AND SALADS AND FRUIT SALADS  AND HOT DOGS NOW AND THEN ABOUT EVERY OTHER MONTH. I MAKE WONDROUS OMELETTES WITH VEGGIES AND  CHEESES

ANYWAY'S I'M OK WITH THE WHOLE THING I EXPECT ILL GET ON THEIR NERVES BEFORE THEY GET ON MINE HAHAH.

MY SON AND HIS WIFE CAME TO VISIT SATURDAY AND  SHE IS ON HER WAY TO HER HOMELAND FOR A 3 MONTH VISIT.

I WONDER HOW THAT'LL WORK OUT? IF I LEFT FOR 3 MONTHS I WOULD WORRY THAT MY HOUSE WAS STILL STANDING AND WE DIDNT HAVE 3 HOMELESS BUMS MOVED IN WHILE I WAS GONE. HAHAH

YOU KNOW DAD FOLKS.... NEED I SAY MORE?

MY NUMBER 2 SON

WHEN MY NO.2 SON WAS ABOUT 9 YRS OLD, OUR FAMILY WAS TRYING NEW WAYS TO MAKE OUR FAMILY MORE  HARMONIOUS SO WE HAD CHARTS AND A PLAN  FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR AND A  CHORE LIST AND WHEN A CHILD COMPLETED HIS DAILY CHORE HE GOT A STAR AND EACH STAR WAS WORTH 10 CENTS.

 THIS WAS OF COURSE IN ABOUT 1967-70  WHEN THE  DIME ACTUALLY BOUGHT SOMETHING.  AT THE END OF THE WEEK WE WOULD TAKE THE LIL TOTS TO A SHOPPING MALL WHERE THEY COULD BUY STUFF WITH THEIR MONIES.

USUALLY THE KIDS HAD ABOUT $2.00 AT THE END OF THE WEEK  AND A FAIR TOY COULD BE HAD FOR  THIS AMOUNT.

SO ONE TIME I REMEMBER    NO. 2 SON      HAD HIS LIL MONEY IN HAND AND DAD PICKED UP THIS ITEM ( WHICH I CANNOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BUT IT DID HAVE GLITTER AND  GLEAM IS ALL I KNOW )AND   ASKED OUR SON "DO YOU WANT THIS?" SON SAID ALL EXCITED "YES !!! YESS!!! WHAT IS IT?"  WE DIDN'T"T KNOW BUT HE WAS SO AGLOW WITH THE THOUGHT OF SPENDING HIS MONEY HE DIDN'T MUCH CARE AT THIS POINT.

SUCH WAS LIFE AT THE  FAMILY HOUSE IN THOSE DAYS OF  INNOCENCE.

AND I REMEMBER ONCE WHILE DRIVING ALONG IN THE CAR ON A TRIP MY DAUGHTER ASKED HER DAD " DAD IF I KEEP TALKING , WILL I RUN OUT OF WORDS"? 

AAAH THE SWEETNESS OF CHILD HOOD.

LAST WEEK ON FRIDAY, MY HUBBY DECIDED I HAD TO HELP WITH VACUUMING THE LIVING ROOM CUZ OUR KIDS WERE COMING TO VISIT. HE WAS VERY INSISTENT I HAD TO CLEAR THE FLOOR FOR THE VACUUM I STARTED TO TIP THE CHAIRS OVER SO WE COULD VACUUM UNDER THEM HE DECIDED AT THAT POINT TO HELP ME AND PULLED THE CHAIR I WAS PUSHING FORWARD  AND LET IT GO ONLY TO KNOCK ME OVER I HIT THE  ISLAND  ROCK TOP WITH MY HEAD MY HIP WITH 2 STOOLS ON THE  SIDE AND MY LEG AND KNEE WERE CRUNCHED UP. I WAS IN REALLY BAD PAIN.

WELL I'M NOT HELPING HIM ANYMORE HE IS A HAZARD .

FOR SOME REASON ANYTIME I GET NEAR HIM I SEEM TO GET HURT.  I THINK I NEED A NEW HUSBAND OR NONE AT ALL.

ANOTHER OLD MEMORY

A VERY DEAR FRIEND FROM SACTO WROTE  ADDRESSING MY BLOG AND I DO REMEMBER ONCE WHEN SHE AND DAD AND I AND HER TWO LITTLE DARLING KIDS WENT TO WEATHERSTONE AND WE STAYED LATE IN THE EVENING AND THE KIDS WERE SO TIRED AND SLEEPY WE HAD TO PUSH THE LITTLE BOY ALL THE WAY HOME AND HE WAS SOUND ASLEEP . HA HAH WE  WERE VERY BAD GRANDPARENTS BUT WE NEEDED TO BE WITH EACH OTHER THEN AS  MY DARLING FRIEND HAD SEPARATED FROM HER HUBBY AND IT WAS A BAD TIME FOR THAT LITTLE LOVING FAMILY.

TO THIS DAY I WILL ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THEY WERE MY GRAND KIDS AND THEY  ARE ALL GROWN UP HARD TO  BELIEVE.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER AND HER TWO CHILDREN. AND I REALLY LIKE TO HEAR HER MOM TALK WHO IS JAPANESE SHE SAYS FUNNY THINGS JUST LIKE MY  THAI FRIEND.

THIS REMINDS ME OF MY LITTLE BLOND BABY WHO SAVED MY LIFE  .... ONCE SHE WAS SINGING  "NO WAY NO WAY THE ANGELS ARE SAVED" AT CHRISTMAS TIME AND I WAS PUZZLED BY  HER WORDS THEN I ASKED HER GRAMA WHAT SHE WAS SAYING... NOEL NOEL THE ANGELS DID SAY HAHAHHAHA.

SATURDAY

WELP WE ARE AT THE WEEKEND AGAIN, AND I AM THINKING ABOUT THAT LITTLE BABY I TOOK CARE OF AFTER MY DAUGHTER DIED .

SHE CAME TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE BEHIND US DOWNTOWN WHEN HER MOM DECIDED TO GO "FIND HERSELF" AND LEFT THE TWO LITTLE GIRLS WITH THEIR DAD  AND GRANDMA.

SHE WAS THE CUTEST BABY I EVER SAW AND SHE LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL. SOFT BLOND HAIR AND BIG BLUE EYES.

I TOOK CARE OF HER FOR ONE YEAR UNTIL MY SOUL  FELT HEALED ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK.  SHE LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE  BECAUSE AFTER MY DAUGHTER DIED I FELT I HAD NOTHING TO LIVE FOR.

PRAISE GOD THERE SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE AN AVAILABLE PLAN TO HEAL US AFTER A HUGE TRAGEDY IN OUR LIVES, BUT WE HAVE TO BE OPEN TO IT.

AT ANY RATE THIS LITTLE ANGEL KEPT  ME AND MY HUSBAND GOING EVERY DAY, AND HER GRAMA AND I SPENT HOURS DISCUSSING HER PROGRESS AND HER ACTIVITIES ON A DAILY BASIS. ALSO GRAMA AND GRAMPA  GAVE ME SO MUCH SUPPORT AFTER MY LOSS LIKE REAL PARENTS  I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THEM AND HOLD THEM IN HIGH ESTEEM EVEN THOUGH BOTH HAVE GONE ON TO THEIR HEAVENLY HEREAFTER NOW.

 I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT SHE HAS HAD A BABY.  I HOPE I CAN GET TO A VISIT THERE AND SEE THE BABY.

I THINK I MAY WRITE TO HER  AND REAQUAINT MYSELF WE HAD SUCH A CLOSE LOV9ING REALTIONSHIP FOR SUCH A TIME THERE.

 

 

A MEMORY FROM 1967

RECENTLY WE GOT A QUESTION FROM A FRIEND WHO BOUGHT OUR HOUSE IN 1996 DOWNTOWN SACTO.

SHE WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SEWER LINE AND I REMMEBERED THAT IT WAS WHEN I WAS 31 YEARS OLD BECAUSE I WENT TO VISIT THE GRANDMA WHO LIVED  NEXT DOOR BEHIND OUR HOUSE  THEN  AND SHE THOUGHT I WAS 18 SHE WAS ABOUT MY AGE NOW 72 TO 75 AND SHE WAS VERY NICE. NOT GRAMA SHEDD ... GRAMPA SHEDDS MOM LIVED THERE.

THE SEWER HAD BACKED UP AND  HUBBY HAD TO DIG ALL THE WAY TO THE ALLEY TO OPEN IT UP  AND  REPAIR IT

A LADY LIVING BY THE ALLEY CALLED THE POLICE AND THEY MADE  HUBS CALL A PLUMBER TO FIX IT. LATER WE SUED THE CITY FOR THIS BECAUSE WE HAD A RIGHT TO REPAIR OUR OWN SEWER AND THE FRONT LAWN BELONGS TO THE CITY NOT TO THE TENANT WHO REPORTED US AND THE POLICE DIDNT KNOW THIS. AND WE WON.

ANYWAYS I HAD A GOOD RECALL OF THIS BECAUSE I HAD TO HANG AROUND WHEN HUBBY FIXED ANYTHING  IN CASE HE NEEDED ME .

 

 

TEEVEE

I'M LISTENING TO MUSIC AND CDS TO CALM AND IMPROVE MIND.

I'M GOING TO PLAY BACH NEXT, ITS A VERY SPIRITUALLY INSPIRING MUSIC.

BUT YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD CONCERT ORCHESTRA    OR IT DOESN'T WORK.

THIS IS DONE BY THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIC.

ONCE WE HAD A STREET  BLOCK PARTY WHERE WE CLOSED A DOWNTOWN STREET AND EVERYONE CAME TO CELEBRATE. ONE GUY NAMED  RAY    WHO ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC AND PLAYED A GUITAR , ON THIS OCCASION HE HAD A GUITAR AND A HARMONICA AND TWO CYMBALS BETWEEN HIS KNEES AND WAS PLAYING BOB DYLAN MUSIC        ONE OF OUR FRIENDS DUBBED HIM THE "SUTTERTOWN PHILHARMONICA"  IT WAS  FUNNY. AND RAY WAS PLAYING HIS HEART OUT TRULY BELIEVING HE WAS GREAT AND FOR THE TIMES AND THE PLACE HE WAS.

HE WAS ONE OF MANY OF OUR  COMPATRIOTS WHO HUNG OUT AT THE OLD WEATHERSTONE COFFEEHOUSE RUN BY LEE PAGE. MANY TIMES WE HAD SUCH A FAMILY FEELING FOR THIS PLACE THAT I MISS IT A LOT.

I STILL TREASURE THE  PHOTO ALBUM I HAVE FROM THOSE DAYS.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER COFFEEHOUSE LIKE THAT ONE AGAIN UNLESS DAD AND I START ONE AND WE DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY OR MONEY FOR SUCH AN ENDEAVOR.

BUT IT LIVES IN MY MIND   AND HEART ALWAYS.

WE STILL HEAR FROM BILL WHO MARRIED AND LIVES IN WASHINGTON STATE WITH HIS RICH LAWYER WIFE HE FINALLY TIED THE KNOT GOOD FOR HIM, HE SENDS US A CHRISTMAS LETTER   DESCRIBING HIS YEARLY ACTIVITIES .

I REMEMBER OUR LAST DOINGS WITH BILL WE HIRED HIM TO REMODEL OUR BATHROOM  FOR 2500 DOLLARS AND HE CAME AND TILED AROUND THE TUB AND PUT DOWN A VERY INEXPENSIVE  LINOLEUM ON THE FLOOR AND USED UP ALL THE MONEY AND DISAPPEARED   SO WE HIRED ANOTHER YOUNG MAN TO FINISH THE JOB AND WORK ON THE TERMITE PROBLEM WE HAD.

BILL AT THAT TIME WAS RUNNING AFTER SOME GUYS WIFE HE WAS HOT FOR AND HIS MIND WAS SO OCCUPIED BY THAT SEXUAL DELIGHT HE FORGOT OUR CONTRACT AND ONE DAY HE APPEARED AND WAS READY TOWORK WE TOLD HIM WE HAD HIRED ANOTHER TO COMPLETE THE JOB AND HE  WAS ASTOUNDED!!

HE DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD DO THAT. WELL WE NEEDED THE BATHROOM TO BE RECONNECTED AND   READY FOR USE WE ONLY HAD THE ONE BATHROOM  I WONDERED WHAT IN THE WORLD HE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO?  GO CA CA IN THE ALLEY? BATHE AT THE NEIGHBORS OR WITH A GARDEN HOSE?

HA HAH  DAD AND I FELT SO SUCCESSFUL TO HAVE HANDLED IT WITH SUCH APLOMB AND NOT ALLOW ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US. EVEN THOUGH HE USED UP ALL THAT MONEY, WE STILL CAME OUT AHEAD.

 AND HE EVENTUALLY DIDN'T GET THAT GIRL.  POOR SAP WASTED  HIS TIME FOR NAUGHT.

SHE WAS A HOE ANYWAY'S.

 

 

TODAY WE WENT TO CHANDLER AGAIN CUZ WE WERE BORED

I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT ABOUT HEALING AND S TUFF LIKE THAT AND MIND EXPANSION AND BRAIN AND MEMORY THINGS SO I DECIDED I WOULD USE SOME OLD CD S I USED WITH MY PATIENTS WHEN I WAS A THERAPIST TO MAKE ME A BIT SMARTER AND MEMORY PRONE.

I HAD BEEN FORGETTING A LOT OF THINGS AND IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. SO I PRACTICED BY LEARNING THE NAMES AND  SITUATIONS OF WORKERS AT STAR BUCKS AND THAT LASTED ONE WEEK  THEN THEY ALL WERE GONE FROM THERE AND ASSIGNED TO OTHER SHOPS DAMMIT.

 THE BEST LAID PLANS OF WOMAN AND MICE. AUF GONG    AWRY  OR LIKE THAT.

SO NOW I'M GONNA USE BIOFEEDBACK AND  CD STUFF TO AUGMENT THIS DRYING UP MIND.

TO THINK I ONCE HAD AN IQ OF 165 AND ITS NOW 135 PER A RECENT ONLINE TEST HAHHA.

I REMEMBER READING PHYSICS BOOKS AND UNDERSTANDING THEM AND NOW I FADE OUT FAST WHEN I TRY TO READ THEM I AM HOWEVER READING SCROEDINGER'S CAT AGAIN AND IT IS MAKING SENSE .

THAT'S HOPEFUL.

I HAD A LOT OF STUFF ABOUT DON I THOUGHT OF ON THE WAY TO TOWN BUT AS USUAL I FORGOT, AND IT WAS FUNNY TOO DAMMIT. WONDER IF IT WILL PASS THIS WAY AGAIN?

I MISS MY FRIENDS IN CALIFORNIA A LOT  SO FAR I HAVEN'T MET ANYONE HERE THAT CHALLENGES MY BRAIN MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'M ROTTING IT SO FAST.

I ALSO MISS MY PROFESSION. IT WAS VERY STIMULATING NOW ALL I HAVE IS TV AND THE INTERNET AND MY EXERCISE  TO GO ON. HUBS DOESN'T HELP HE'S HAPPY SITTING HOME AND WATCHING TV READING AND PUTTING TOGETHER PUZZLES AND GOING TO THE TOILET.

AAAH RETIREMENT.

 

MY DEAR THAI FRIEND

 A VERY DEAR GIRL FROM THAILAND I KNOW IS SO CUTE, SHE SAYS THINGS THAT ARE EXCRUCIATINGLY FUNNY WITHOUT MEANING TO.

LAST TIME I SAW HER SHE WAS ALL DRESSED UP FOR CHURCH AND LOOKED VERY NICE IN A SHORT DRESS AND HIGH BOOTS THAT CAME TO HER KNEES.  SHE SAID " IN THAILAND  WHEN YOU DRESS LIKE THIS PEOPLE GIVE YOU MONEY"

SHE MEANT  THAT  WHEN YOU GO TO WORK  YOU NEED TO DRESS UP LIKE THIS AND  YOUR FASHIONABLE  LOOK  HELPS YOU GET HIRED FOR WELL PAYING JOBS.

THIS CRACKED US ALL UP SHE IS SO INNOCENT OF WHAT SHE SAYS IN ENGLISH SHES A TOTAL DELIGHT.

LIBRARY NEWS

AAAAH WHAT A FEED I HAD PLANNED FOR MY BABIES YESTERDAY .

THEY GOT SICK AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DIDNT COME BUT I HAD  COOKED A HAM AND MADE A HUGE SALAD HAD CUT VEGGIES  AND FRESH CUT FRUIT .WAS GONNA MAKE ENCHILADAS BOTH STEAK AND VEGETARIAN TYPE,

AH WELL NOW I HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR ME AND DAD UNTIL WE TIRE OF IT AND WHEN WE DO ILL MAKE THOSE ENCHILADAS .

DAD AGAIN IS THE SUBJECT OF MY OBSERVATIONS. I GOT A LIBRARY CARD  IN PHOENIX  AND I DO NOT PAY FOR IT AND DAD USES IT ALL THE TIME INFACT I RARELY GET TO USE IT BECAUSE HE NEEDS A LOT OF BOOKS   AND YET HE DISAPPROVES OF MY FREE CARD WHEN HE PAYS FOR HIS.

ANOTHER QUIRK HE HAS HAHHA. GREED FOR BOOKS AND  NO MORAL SENSE WITH MY STUFF ONLY WITH HIS.

TOMORROW WE ARE GOING TO MIMIS TO MEET WITH OUR WAITRESS AT MIMIS AND MEET HER NEW BABY. I GOT HIM A SILVER SET SPOON FORK AND A BABY BLANKY WITH A HIS NAME ON IT AND A LIL BEAR TOP. ITS SO CUTE.

SHE IS OUR FAVORITE WAITRESS EVER.

LAST WEEK I DIDNT DO MY EXERCISES AT THE REHAB CENTER BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DID I WOULD HAVE SEVERE PAIN IN MY LEGS AND KNEES SO I GAVE IT A REST AND TODAY IM GOING BACK. I WONDER WHY THEY TELL YOU TO KEEP WORKING  THEM AND WHEN YOU DO YOU CAN HARDLY WALK?  RIGHT NOW IM IN GREAT SHAPE I ONLY HAVE  PAIN IN BED WHEN IM LYING DOWN WHEN IT GETS TOO BAD I USE A PILLOW SUPPORT.

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF  PAIN AND USE OF BODY. I DO BELEIVE THOUGH, THAT  YOU CAN WEAR OUT YORU KNEES BY TOO MUCH EXERCISE I WAS THE OEN WHO WORKED OUT EVERY DAY AT THE CLUB AND TOOK BALLET LESSONS AND ATONE TIME I USED TO JOG. WELL FOLKS I JOGGED MYSELF OUT OF ALL MY CARTILEGE IN MY KNEES.  YOU CAN NO LONGR CONVINCE ME THAT EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR YOU IN EXCESS. I THINK HAD I STUCK TO LONG WALKS I WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THIS MESS AALSO I SLEPT ON A PAD ON THE FLOOR FOR YEARS  THAT CANT HAVE BEEN GOOD AS I GOT UP ON MY KNEES EVERY MORNING AND IN MY YOUNGER YEARS I SCRUBBED FLOORS ON MY HANDS AND KNEES.   

NEW THEORY :IF YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR KNEES EXERCISE EVERY DAY.

PEOPLE WHO ARE 10 TO 15 YEARS YOUNGER THAN I ARE BRAGGING THEY CAN WORK OUT DAILY HAHHA  DO THEY EVER HAVE A SURPRISE COMING !!! I DIDNT FALL APART OR START TIL I WAS ABOUT 63 THATS WHEN MY KNEES WERE  STARTING TO GO  I HAD PAIN IN THEM AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

SNOOTY ASSHOLES . ILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THEIR COME UPPANCE.

I WONT SAY I TOLD YOU SO THOUGH. ILL BE KIND AND I WONT SAY YOU NEED TO KEEP MOVING THAT IS BAD FOR IT YOU NEED NEW KNEES IS WHAT YOU NEED.

MY LEFT KNEE IS ALMOST COMPLETELY HEALED NOW IT DOESNT  BOTHER ME ANYMORE

TAKES A FULL YEAR TO REALLY GET WELL.

AND THE YOUNGER YOU ARE WHENYOU FIX YORU KNEES THE FASTER YOU HEAL.

BUT I STILL CANNOT KNEEL  AND THE DOC SAID DO NOT KNEEL IUNTIL YOURE FULLY HEALED. A MAN WHO HAD HIS KNEES BOTH DOEN AT AGE 62 HAD A QUICKR RECOVERY THAN I HIS AGE MADE THE DIFFERENCE. BYE FOR NOW.
