Part of all that pain has to be the wonderful weather you all have had all winter. I do hear a lot of back pain around here too. I've taken to using an old bagage carrier to take heavy things into the house and also to move them inside the home. Those large bottles of liquid, water or soap, I do not lift, I roll to where it is to go. I've gotten a lot of people around here to do that too.Thrift shops get the old carriers since our luggage now have wheels.
Boy, in another year from now I don't think I could do this move. Bad enough now. I'm happy I made up my mind to do it. I have to be in a place that will make it easier for my children to take care of the problems that turn up as one ages. If I had no children I would stay right where I am.Our people are family to those that have none.
I've learned to let go of so much 'stuff'. Not easy.
Hope to be on till April 15th. Then it will be a month before I'll get up and running once more.
May the sun shine and the warmth come so the pains go away. martha

Hi Martha, so good to see you here, and it feels good that I was able to get on this morning.
What a good idea...the luggage carrier!
Oh,puhleez - I have you beat on saving stuff. When my DMIL passed, I found the box of school stuff from DH, plus a box of all the cards given to her by her DSs (in 1940s). Yep, they are all on the shelf in my hobby room. It pleased DH that I had rescued it and he could reminisce looking through the goodies. The sad part was how the collection ceased when he was 11. His DM was hospitalized with a mental illness for 10 years beginning then.

I need to get back to doing my chair yoga regularly. It increases my flexibility and the relaxation of the slow movements frees my mind of the pain for a while.
Today I have a sore knee. Is it possible that changing to a different pair of shoes can cause so much difficulty? It is warmer, so I shifted to a new pair of Adidas walking shoes. I think I'll need to experiment with some orthotic inserts to realign my body. Bummer, just when I was feeling chipper again. Oh well, I'll take my codeine and do a little outside yard work today.
