Good morning all.....it is cold,damp and foggy here in "sunny" California! Wishing I were in Hawaii......My bod aches all over.....what else is new. My balance issues are overwhelming for the past 5 days.....I HATE it....without pain meds I would be sitting/laying 24/7....not good. All my life I have been so active and a fitness addict....now I feel so lazy and nonproductive that I am getting depressed. That doesn't fit for me either. I love to do so many things.....socially, I am out of the loop.(driving is difficult..) I am a widow so am alone alot. My cleaning lady comes today and together we get a lot done and that makes me feel good.....she does what I can't.....I do what I can...we are a good team. Today will be a good day. I am writing the chronicles of my 70 years and finding it most helpful in a positive way...to recall many things I am sooooo very grateful for. Gratitude is a great healer. You are all so helpful with your sharing.....am not alone by any stretch...all of us have difficulties. It is amazing to me how many symptoms,results...issues we have. No two seem to be the same. My doctors never told me this or that may or may not happen It is my feeling they should be more informative with us.....it's scarry at times. Thanks to all of you.....JudyT
