Today I raked and bagged leaves for an hour. It was 70 degrees and sunny so I had to wear shorts and a tank top to keep cool! That has to be a first for me in November in N. Illinois, lol. There have been past Novembers where we have snow all month long!

Tomorrow I'm going to finish bagging the leaves and find more work to do out there while this good weather lasts.

Wow! So warm for your region ewiz. Good raking weather.

I swam a mile today: the pool was too cold though.

well I have tramadol for the pain too, but take it only occasionally...

well I did do that walk to park yesterday, it hit 70 degrees in the U.P. of Michigan that is amazing for November yeahhhh

came home, so nice out, I took a tramadol for the back pain, and layed out for over hour on lawn chair in yard... it was sooooooooo relaxing.... well

when I went to stand up started feeling dizzy, thought maybe the tramadol... but nope one of my dizzy spell things happening... so I came inside.. still dizzy if moving.. layed on couch... stuck there from 330pm-10pm last night.. got up and crawled up the stairs to bed.. still dizzy!!

woke today no dizzies but back is just so sore.... I did take the girls bowling.. although I did not bowl due to back. I am about to do some evening yoga... just easy stretching kind... hugsss all, sarah

(here when I have a dizzy spell neuro wanted me to take a migrane pill right at onset of dizziness... I did not try it because I thought the dizzies were from the tramadol... oh well next time... he just wants to see if the dizzies that come with right eye blurry stuff..could possibly be a sort of migrane.. the pill is one you take within first hour of sxs... and see if it lessens the dizzies...drats)

hugsss all, sarah

Aw Sarah,

I'm sorry about the pain and dizziness. I hope the migraine meds help it next time it happens. I had migraines for many years but no more, thank goodness.

Today I cooked and cleaned kitchen and did chores for about 5 1/2 hrs so no workout. Tomorrow maybe, depending on my schedule.

Wiz, I do not think it is migranes, but neuro either, but he wants to test the idea out.. just in case the dizzies could be that.... ruling things out as we still go long on this mission of my health... numb/tingling and stuff started what 10 years ago now... way too long for being undx huh!!

well, did some yoga last night, relaxing stretch evening one... going to do yoga this morning... and at least a short walk... or since sun is shining maybe a long walk today!! few more days of vacation... dwindling away... back to work wednesday!

hugss all, keep moving thru your day... hugss,sarah

Sabi and Ewiz, you both are doing your best to stay fit.

Sabi, it's amazing how much you are moving, even though you feel so bad.

I swam a mile today in a freezing pool. Brrrrrr. No fun.

Thx BBS, my back hurts more when laying down or sitting around! plus probably focus on it more too. So keep going..

Maddie and I did walk today, and went to the beach, played in the sand... wonderful!! hugssss,sarah

I used the elliptical for 35 minutes and it felt good.

I had the patio door open for fresh air. Rocky kept climbing the screen, going after a bug. I really need to replace the screen mesh, it's been about 18 years and Rocky's doing a number on it. I hope I can get some heavy duty material, since he has ferociously large claws.

Happy to see us all moving right along, in spite of our pains..

Did 10 minutes of yoga stretches this morning. I'll do another 10 before my nap and another 10 before bed. Trying not to over do it and ease my way back in to my normal routine.
