I'm so sorry to hear that your mother had such a difficult life, and that she passed away
I'm glad that you still have your father tho, and that he sounds healthy and active.

Yes, please be careful painting. I couldn't even suggest you not to do it if I wanted to. I do ridiculous things I should not try doing all the time
I just hope it doesn't worsen your pain
