LIMITATIONS

Yes dad and I are facing the many limitations of old age but we are determined not to let it rob us of a sense of humor!

"People who have come to know the joy of the Lord do not deny that there is darkness.  A little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness."  Henri Nouwen

We enjoyed a long talk with Melina and Ken the day after boxing day.  They are coping with the heat and the children are enjoying their holidays.  They want to go away but plans have not been made yet.

I have had several very difficult days and almost went back to the emergency. I have decided I have to get use to being short of breath and tired and rest when I need to.  I am determined to keep walking Spenser even though it is exhausting. 

There is a reason.  I will find out more when I visit the specialist.

We are anxious about the day of dad's eye surgery but it will all work out.  Carol and Sandra are willing to help.

My computer has not been working.  My blog as lost but dad has got it working again even better.

I was feeling low spiritually but my spirits are now lifting.

The New Year will be a time for a new Me!

Yes we must keep moving - little spencer has been a blessing to us - I hope we are the same to him!
That weather in AU at 44C is horrible.

Given that the hospital identified problems during your earlier visit, I think that if taking the dog for a walk is really tiring you out, that is a very bad sign. So it is probably much better to rest.

So please be sensible.

Love,

Rick

Short small walks or none at all sometimes is the key. Rest is the best medicine after all.

Thank you Shandel and Rick.

I am trying not to get weak.

I rest twice a day.

I will find out more when I see the other doctor.

I am determined to feel better.

I am trying to be sensible!

Love to you both
