Finally figured out how to get back onto my blog. I hate being Internet illiterate.

This has really been a tough month for us. J hasn't been feeling that spiffy for all of July. It really hurt to see him struggling just to walk or get out of a chair. It seemed that every day he just was getting worse. I know as you age things happen but not overnight. This was something different and took us a long time just to get the help he needed to just function again like he was normally able too. J doesn't complain and when he says he is hurting it is time to get on the phone NOW.

We still don't have the answers to what is causing it but at least they were able to get the pain to a level he could handle. It's nice to have so many friends that would check in just to see how he was doing. Everyone was worried about him.

We are hoping that in Aug. we will have a whole lot more answers on what is going on. Now I have to check with the doctor to see if he was supposed to take the Prednisone for the full two weeks before we went back to see him or had he intended to start taking the level down. He changed the appointment from one to two weeks but he also was going to start taking his Prednisone down at the time of the office visit. I really wish I was a mind reader sometimes.

At least things are more normal around here although I have to admit my shoulders haven't totally relaxed yet. It's been raining and windy so haven't been to go to the pool for exercise and sure could use it. I haven't gone to the rec center and worked out either since I didn't want J to be doing that quite yet until we found out what was causing the muscle pain. I really don't want to go back to where it was before.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will be back to a regular schedule again and can be doing our normal things. Right now I'm even thinking about cleaning house just to stay active. Be still my heart right?

Time to check out and will be a little more active again on the blog hopefully.
