My pleasure Kevin, prayers are on the way. I have recently seen first hand, yet again, how the power of prayer can be so powerful when our son Daniel was so ill and he recovered so perfectly. Please keep in touch about your mom and take care of yourself during this stressful time. Hugs,

Hi Iris, I have a Pilates machine and a recumbent bike. I use them both, at different times, the Pilates is great for core stregthening and the bike good for the legs on me. There is so much on the Pilates that I don't do and may never be able to do, but what I do really does help and I

I was just thinking a bit more about Rose, and I hope that I didn't answer too quickly about her. I re-read the previous message and actually think that it is probably unlike Rose to have her mailbox to fill up like that. So, I too am a bit worried now. I sure hope that she sees these

Geez, I guess it's obvious to anyone paying attention that I've just had a birthday and have lost my mind. That extra year that I've convinced myself is just another day older is noticeable today. Actually, I forgot to take my meds and am way behind schedule, and it's showing, big time.

I've corresponded with Rose several times and she's doing well. It's just very cold and she doesn't do really well with the cold. She may be laying low these days like many of us. She'll most likely write in soon, once she sees this message. As I remember, Rose came home from the hospital

I didn't see the original post, so not sure what you were asking. I also had surgery, it was on my back for a lypoma. I was not put under, but would be given enough to be very relaxed. They said they weren't trying to put me under, but I was more than happy to sleep through it since it was

Seems that those who smoke it get a lot of pain relief. Do you get pain relief with the sleepy effects? Maybe I just finally am just so relaxed that am able to sleep, and it generally takes about 45 minutes or more for the effect to take place. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA -Original

My heart is so warmed by all of your responses, too many to respond to individually. Many struggle with some of the same issues as I do of going good for a while and then slacking off. And, winter is of course the hardest time for us to think about exercise when we are more achy than usual.

So many of you have offered your support during the time I needed it when our son Daniel was so ill. He has really rallied his way back to feeling really good now. He's worked hard, using my recumbent bike initially for a very short time, and now continues to do so for a nice ride. He rides
