Best Medicine.

 So...the best? week I have had in 6 months, healthwise.

I walked four days, on the fourth day walked twice, and the fifth day decided moving was a bad idea. Slept in the boot, but then did five hours of dishwashing and normal chores, and today walked a mile, plus two trips around wally world. So probably at least a mile and a quarter or more. The 5 hours dishwashing and chores....on my feet, was by far the hardest. 

That was it for me. 

When I say 5 hours of dishwashing....this is the week we are doing meal prep and don't have a dishwasher.  It will be getting hot outside soon, and we want to continue walking and such....so we are planning out meals, getting the hard work out of the way, and only have reheating to worry about. ( Utility bills in the hot months. Ovens are the enemy of A/C.) 

These are the things older people have to think about...what if one of us is in the hospital...what if we are both hurting....so we make sure we have lots of easy to prepare meal options. 

My best? comment had to do with the pain. 

My wife has taken care of me for months when I could not.  I hope I have earned that, 'cause none of us want to put it all on anyone else. 

It is amazing how much better pain feels when you know you earned it.  I know how my health issues work. I have seen the patterns. Immobility will be coming for me soon. I need sweat, and sunlight when I can get it.  Hope to see the kids and the grandkids soon.
