Just need to talk to my friends (203)

ladyzetta

Good afternoon, my daughter and I just got back from getting a massage, to get our yoga kinks worked out, now I'm sore from that.

Julie. If your really interested in the restoration yoga class, give it a try, hopefully your body is more flexible then mine. I really enjoyed yoga, so we plan on going twice a week.

Eaglemom. I hope you left ankle, is feeling better. Please be careful and don't let it throw you off balance.

David. Your wife is in my prayers, please keep us updated. 🙏

Carl. It's good you know what the problem is with your DW, hopefully the antibiotics work for the infection as well as the lump.

Iris. Sounds like you have a exciting trip, to Kenya, coming up. I hope you get close enough to the baby elephants to give them a hug, please send us some pictures. It's nice your able to travel as much as you do.

I hope your all having a good day. Hugs Zetta

My wife's stomach problem has been cured now it will take her sometime to recover and get back to normal. It will be hard to be able to her visit me as I'm not able to travel to see her do to my illness.

Lorita

Good to hear that, David. I know you're anxious to see her but time will pass and things will return to normal. Thanks for letting us know. The Americas i s on. This one about the Amazon, really interesting.

ladyzetta — I'm glad you're really liking your yoga class. Yoga is something I know I'd get a lot out of, I just haven't ever taken a class. Maybe now is the time. The poses that you describe are kind of intimidating to me - I'm flexible, but not that flexible, if you know what I mean.

Carl - I'm glad antibiotics seem to be helping. I hope the trend continues in the right direction. Also …. for when it gets warmer …. You can make Boost into popsicles, and they taste great. I know the container says not to freeze them, but ignore that. 🙂

jfkoc — snow????? Talk about not okay! I haven't been to Burning Man since Peggy was diagnosed. There's no cell service there, actually very little service of any kind except you can buy ice. But it seemed way too irresponsible to be out of contact for a week to ten days. I think this year might be a little soon to go, it might be too emotional still. Maybe next year …

Iris - Kenya! I'm so excited for you! Traveling with a group is the way to go.

Lorita - I hope you're starting to feel better.

David - I'm glad your wife is on the mend.

As for me? Today's a lazy day. I slept in and then put on a big pot of spaghetti sauce to cook. It's still cooking, with maybe an hour left to go. I let it simmer for most of the day. Since it's cold and rainy here, a warm bowl of spaghetti will hit the spot.

Lorita

Thanks, GG, I do feel better than this morning. Time for bed. Good night, everyone. Sleep tight, don't let the BBB.

David, I'm glad your wife is better. That has to be a big load off your mind.

Iris, Lorita, and GG, thank you for the suggestions. I'll give them a try. I know DW has diverticulosis, and she doesn't eat strawberries or some other things because of the seeds.

My mother used to rehydrate prunes in warm water, but she didn't actually cook them. They were delicious. DW won't eat prunes but hasn't tasted one in 50 years so I can probably call them something else and she might like them. They truly are sweet as candy. I have to count them out so I don't eat more than six, or they work too well.

That spaghetti sounds terrific on a rainy night. I love spaghetti sauce on shell pasta, because the shells hold more sauce.

Massage is one of the most relaxing things in the world. I haven't had one in years, I'll have to do that.

I met a baby elephant once, after taking a wrong turn at the circus when I was about ten years old. It may have been a baby, but it looked really big to me!

DWs bowel problem is working itself out, a few ounces at a time every hour or so, and she is complaining less of abdominal pain. The lump on the upper thigh isn't shrinking, though, and we are getting a CT Monday afternoon to see if it is a cyst, a swollen lymph node, or ?

Sleep tight, friends.

Good morning

Lorita hope you continue feeling better this morning.

Snow on the ground this morning

Zetta sounds like your daughter is keeping you young

Plan on making spaghetti today

Good morning

I'm new to this. My husband has Alz and he's 13 yrs older than I am -- neither of us is young. I'm sad, lonely and scared. He had a brilliant mind and now struggles with the correct words. He's always been polite, kind and caring. Now, not so much. I'm not expecting solutions, but I just felt the need to connect with others going through this. Thank you.
