Daughter Janna, told me I had to do an update because I have been lax in my duties.First, I am doing pretty well. The BPV seems to be under control, however the CRIS has kicked up a bit lately. Regarding the BPV, we did the exercises over again, changed my pillow this seems to have worked.
My only problem recently has been a buggered left shoulder. I did something on the weekend and have been paying the price ever since. I was trying to be a gentleman stretching to open the gate on the deck for Merete. Teach me to try and be a gentleman. What was I thinking!
This heat wave has been wiping me out. I used to love the heat, working in the garden, building things and other recreational activities. Right now I can't handle it, my heart rate goes up and I hear the valve clicking away. Quite irritating. The best part today was I went to town and found something for my shoulder at the pharmacy. It's acetaminophen with a muscle relaxant, boy what a pain reliever. Fortunately right now I am just between doses, so I can type. This drug mellows you out and relaxes everything. I had been having some issues with nerve damage in my chest and the cracking of my ribs, this has relieved everything. What a change to be pain free, hopefully I will be able to do more of my exercises without hurting keeping in mind not to over do it as well.(that's for Janna)
Just so you know, John, NO ONE can do anything in the kind of heat we have been having. Take a cue from our friends in countries that have 40degree temperatures regularly and sit in the shade, drink copiously and take naps. Oh, wait, isn't that what you are supposed to be doing?????

Montana,
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have forwarded good advise. Fortunately I like to drink copiously, which usually leads to naps or black outs. It all depends on your point of view.
