I am so tired right now, but seriously, if I could, I would tackle you and CLING. I've missed you- International Bug of Mystery (so called it on that! You *were* hopping all over the place) And I'm, I'm going to cling from a distance. Okay? Because I know I'm not good about writing on here - honestly, none of us are so no guilt to anyone. Deal? - but you two are with me all the time. Actually talked about you today, so there.
Love having you back, Whit. Deb, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Having your joints go is tough. I don't know if they have it in her area, or she would even be interested, but I have to recommend tai chi. It could really help. There's a woman in my class, Patria, who had back problems from a degenerative bone thing. Her doctor gave her six months and said she'd never walk again. That was 5-6 years ago, and she's one of the best people in the class - completely flexible, strong. It can do amazing things if you're willing to put in the work. And, as a plus, a lot of insurance companies reduce your payments if you show proof you're enrolled in a tai chi class. One of my dad's co-workers, her doctor sent her to tai chi (she has something that affects her ability to breathe, but I can't remember the name)
Anyway, just, putting it out there. But heading to bed now, will write more later. Love to all.
