1st Blog...ever!

Tuesday, February 04, 2020

I've never done a blog before, but shall give this a try. I just joined Spark Premium and am finding it very informative and helpful.
My exercising has to be modified after falling yesterday and cracking 2 ribs and getting a mild concussion! The positive side is that I stayed on my calorie count without going over! I fell by tripping on my cane...talk about feeling foolish!

Oh my!! So sorry. You’re very courageous. I hope you’ll get physical therapy since they’re really great with helping with balance problems. I’ve MS and they have always been good for me.

Who knew canes can be dangerous. How are you feeling now? Better, I hope. Any "little" illness or whatever just about stops me cold now. What a wimp I have become.

Have you been giving out goodies? Thanks! I love it!

I know how you feel - sort of. I broke my toe on my cane last August and it's STILL bothering me late at night. I guess old bones heal a lot more slowly. I'm sorry to hear about your ribs and concussion. I'll pray for a speedy recovery.

Look at your response. I do a lot of chair exercises. Sorry about your ribs and your head. Heal as fast as you can-it is slow at my age.

I saw your post on the community feed and came right over.

I had wondered before when visiting why there was not a blog, and then recalled I hadn't started to do so until recently really, and don't keep up with it. It can be useful as a journal, or a place to work out your thoughts about something, even a place to share with others what you know or are learning.
You've accomplished all that with your first blog. Wow. Keep it up, you'll be glad.

I've done chair- and isometric-exercises which seem to help when I've injured myself or have tourist pains visiting the amusement park which is my body. We get knocked down, but we get up again, eh?

I'm sorry to hear about your trip. I have to pay attention not to kick my cane as I walk. Sometimes it seems I have Mickey Mouse shoes on my feet. When I or my disabled wife get "dropsies" or keep stumbling we agreed to sit down for a quick rest and then be very, very careful when we engage in that behavior since we have either wiring problems or we are distracted somehow.

See you around!

Ciao for now,
Chow for laters!

I have to admit that I have tripped myself with my cane as well. I just can't get used to the thing. Good luck on your journey and take it easy on the exercise while you are healing.

Be kind to yourself as your ribs heal and make sure you keep up with your deep breathing exercises so that you don't develop respiratory complications.

Hope it isn't your last blog but hope that it is your last fall. Many years ago I fell and broke my ankle climbing on a chair to reach something. And we've all heard not to climb on a chair so I felt foolish when people would ask how I broke my ankle.
