Doing good now. I walk 3 miles a day now. Best thing ever. So simple.

I take medicine from time to time. I am on hydros now. GOD bless that pill. I can finally enjoy life.

Sun is shining on the OBX. Thank you all for thoughtful responses.

that's perfect. Give it about six weeks and you'll have most of your old, pre-pain life back.
One of the things I take into consideration when deciding the right path is looking back at the things that have happened in my life and ask myself if I would have gotten through that if I was born 100 years earlier. Many times, the answer is no. I have had asthma from the time I was a baby, and medication got me to the point that I can sit here and type this. So everything that got me to this point and helps me maintain a high quality of life is a good thing, from my point of view.
There is no reason to make things harder than they have to be.

Good job! Enjoy life now, k?

Have you considered trying Yoga too. I was stiff as a board, had a knee that caused some issues and lower back pain often. It's all gone now. I also stand more upright. I put on 9 pounds of muscle and lost 4 inches around my waist. To me Yoga is a miracle drug. I just do it in my own home, maybe 3 to 5 times a week.

People say they don't do it because they are not flexible. But that is WHY you do it, so you will become flexible. Learning to breath correctly will help in everyday life.

Lots of free stuff on Youtube. I have found I do best if I follow 3 or 4 instructors
One to look at that really has good stuff is Yoga with Adriene

https://ddpyoga.com/ is where I got my start and I love the teaching methods. lots of success stories on the site from people who couldn't walk to super over weight and health issues.

I usually do 3 DDPs, 1 or 2 Adriene's a week. I would do more DDP but the old man kicks my butt.

Really good news T. You take care!

Fantastic news, T. Glad you're getting this sorted out!

Awesome and we'll send you our bill.
