Hello, Sprite!
2:45 am
sprite
*hugs zooz* Good morning, dear man. How are you today? And is your dad still improving and your mom holding up?
2:46 am
zoozzoom
I am well thank you. Dad is going to the doctor today to get some cocodamol (sp)? and to make sure they are the disolvable ones not the tablet form. Mother is still not too good with most foods bless her. How are you?
2:50 am
zoozzoom
They both have gall stones and Mother also has diverticulitis. I had to check google for the spelling of that one lol
2:51 am
sprite
am glad you are good :) Sorry about your mum, must be hard on her to keep up her energy. Co-codamol is correct, I googled it too, lol. We call them paracod here.
2:51 am
sprite
how are your feet, btw?
2:52 am
zoozzoom
It seems to have settled down now I am doing those stretch exercises from the book and it seems to be doing the trick. thank from your advice!
2:53 am
sprite
np, always happy if any of my own experience can help a friend :) Very glad to hear it seems to be settling.
2:54 am
zoozzoom
When i started doing these stretch exercises it is amazing how un suptle I have become!
2:55 am
zoozzoom
I had become i am getting more suptle now is what i meant.
2:55 am
sprite
oh ikr! I used to be so nimble and somehow in my mind that never changed. And then reality hits when I try to reach my toes with legs stretched, lol.
2:56 am
zoozzoom
Oh that hurts just thinking about it haha!
2:56 am
sprite
*grins* It is a good thing we notice the effect of our excercises so quickly, that helps to keep up the good work
2:57 am
zoozzoom
Some of the positions in the book are mind blowing...There is no way I will ever even think about attempting those! But I am happy with what i can do now and it helps so all is good.
2:58 am

hmph they are show-offs, those people in the books, lolllll. We just do what we can and that is more than enough.

Not a TV series I watch but saw when hopping through to see what is on. There was the X factor and a 90 year old lady was with a younger man doing dance to music and he was thowing her in the air whilst she twirled around very fast! A bit like they were ice dancing but on the stage. I was amazed I just had to watch it. How she never hurt herself I will never know.
3:01 am

wow, amazing!

My parents are in their 80s and can hardly walk let alone beeb thrown into the air ha!

back when my kids did aikido, there was this 80+ lady who did it too. She said the trick is to just never stop doing it :)
3:04 am
zoozzoom
Well that would make sense I suppose. Like the yoga poses if you have been doing them for many many years you would stay suptle. udos to those who keep at it.

It does take a long time to get back to normal though when you run your self down like that. He will get there I am sure of it. Well he will he has you by his side!
3:09 am
