August 13 Final Update

I did well today. I even went outside and ran the power edger around the yard. Then the Vorlon Wife and I cleaned up the debris from the edging.

It felt good to do some physical work. I huffed and puffed, but kept going.

While working outside I didn’t really suffer from the tightness and soreness in my calves. I will tell you, it really makes going up and down stairs a challenge. It’s bad enough that I hobble when I walk. The pain seem worst, when I’m been sitting for while and I get up to walk.

My weight is good, so are my taste buds and appetite.

But now I’m off to bed. I have a busy day scheduled for tomorrow.

It sounds like you held up fairly well working outside. That's great.

Ted, As I was reading abut how sore your calves are, I began remembering a time when my circulation was poor in my lower legs, and as I stood from a sitting position and the blood began flowing back into my lower leg area, it hurt like the dickens. I have no idea if the situations are similar. However, it was a surprise to me that I was having such pain from poor circulation. As I recall, I was given some medication to relieve the situation. Just a thought that you might want to ask your doctor about. I recall that I was definitely hobbling too, and wowzie, it hurt LOTS.
