| About | I live in the country. I have asthma, affected by cold and humidity, which limits my outdoor time. Both knees have been replaced. Can not get on/off floor easily. Have cages and screws in back. I am no longer able to touch my toes etc because of the hardware in my back. Trying to do such exercises can cause damage to the equipment. I have a 5 pound weight lift limit of 5 pounds. I have a pacemaker. I live in constant pain. I also have fibromyalgia There are days I can barely stand. As a disabled nurse I am what is called a train wreck. I have been in physical therapy multiple times. Currently trying to follow Plant Based living, though I still need milk in my coffee. I have lost 50 pounds in the last two years. I am still quite over weight 226 at 5’3. I use to be on my feet for 12 hour days in a inner city hospital. Now a 30 minute walk can tire me out. If I get cold my knees put me to bed with a heated blanket for at least for 2 hours. I feel much better in warmer climates, moving is out of the question at this time. We live in a very small house directly on Lake Huron which is a beautiful view! When we are in warmer climates I love swimming! Water has to be warm or it causes me extreme pain. I love reading, watching historical shows. |
