Charles, I just saw this post and I’m glad to hear you’re making progress on your recovery. I’m not sure what exercises you’re doing for your neck and shoulder. However, these two areas and lower back are some targeted areas my yoga instructor has focused on in the past. I’ll take a look at the exercises she’s prescribed over the past several months as I’ve begun my yoga discovery journey. I’ll share them with you if I see they might be helpful. I never thought I would say this, but I love yoga! My only regret is not having started earlier. It’s a great complement to my health routine and I believe it has made me stronger.
Thanks, Vida. I'm learning to like yoga but I still struggle motivating to do it. When I first started I couldn't even do downward dog. I was completely inflexible because of weight training. Now I can drop down and do a downward dog and pushups from that position on command (bark!). It's amazing, too, how fast that happened.
Gruesome, scary, heartfelt, and funny as hell. Your writing skill has held strong through your recovery, and I'm grateful for that. Like they say, growing older isn't for the faint of heart. P.S. that first picture is hysterical!!! P.P.S. When you have time, wanna toss a great guest post over to Pen2Profit?
Thanks, Maryan. I'm no Bob Hope, but I'm reminded that when he was in his final days, his wife asked, "Do you want an open or closed casket," and he replied, "Surprise me " possibly urban myth but I hope not, lol. I try to keep it light, even when things are rough all over.
Re: cross post, did you have something specific in mind? Thanks again.
"With one finger on the zoom disconnect button" reminds me of the old cartoon The Jetsons! Thanks for the story Charles i remember when you went AWOL back then.

Pleased to hear you survived Charles - a little humour usually helps ease the pain of life! 😀
Thank you! 😊
Buy me a brain scan! 😂
Your humor is always a treat. You’ve left me with some great quotes for a restack. Stay healthy!
Well, the government ain't gonna pay for it! And look, now I can't even use proper English!
😂. My first read of you and it was delicious!
Glad you’re doing better 🫶🏼
Thank you!

I’ll email you
It's always shocking when we first discover ourselves to be mortal.
I almost had a heart attack when I was told that my heart wasn't functional. (heh)
The double vision from which you suffer would knock me on my ass - literally - I'd be so dizzy from trying to read that I'd have to take a nap.
Thanks, Ellen. I take a lot of naps:-)
