October 20, 20214 yr Congratulations Kris. You are doing great! Edited October 20, 20214 yr by johnny5
October 21, 20214 yr Thanks to all of you for the kind words and encouragement. I know it should be a special day. I have just been struggling a little so I have been busy keeping my self occupied. All the mindless things, cleaning the toilets, putting up new shower liners in the bath. I need to get new bath rugs and the all exciting new toilet bowl seats. I just hate it when I can't do all the things I used to. With the hip replacement it is fine to get down to the floor, I have problems getting back up. Tried to get on the step ladder to dust ceiling fans and change some light bulbs. Well that was a no go. I am pissed I can not do the things I have always done. I have cleaned the kitchen, organized the pantry. Went to a couple of stores to stock up on dog food, diet coke and wine. Second store was food stock up, good ground beef for the freezer, sausage I use in recipes for the freezer. When was the last time you could get Campbells tomato soup 3 cans for a buck. Took up a rug in the den due to my little girl (dog) having accidents the last few days. She is feeling better but I will wait a few days before I put down the new rug. So now you can see, I have been having a hard time here of late. At least I am getting things done. Love and great thanks for all you do for everyone here! K
October 21, 20214 yr Congrats Kris I know this has not been easy but you have endured and it shows your strength. The hardest part is over, but this is a long haul dont get too comfortable. We are all addicts we just don't use anymore. Ace is proud of you!!
October 21, 20214 yr Ace, thanks that means a lot from you. I was a swimmer all my life. Have a letter jacket to prove it. Was a lifeguard at one time. Loved swimming but it slowly left my life as an adult. I am looking to bring it back because I know the joy of it. I have located a pool nearby but I am still unsure of the safety of being around others with the new delta variant. I would need to start with slow freestyle workouts and kick board strength training. I do not know if flip turns would ever be in the future at this age but you never know until you try. I would not even attempt the butterfly. K
October 21, 20214 yr Congratulations on four months down! You're doing it, Kris, and not letting anything life throws at you get in the way. Keep moving forward and things will continue to improve, day by day.
October 21, 20214 yr We were all swimmers once. Actually we represent the strongest swimmer in the group, unless you're a twin
October 21, 20214 yr No Ace, I am not a twin but wish I had one. I loved to swim so much that I had the green chlorine look to my hair as a child, as I became a teenager I wore a swim cap in the pool for workouts and nothing in the lake. I tended to go blond of some sort in the summers at the lake. That was my biggest swim across a lake. I think it was about 3 miles, that was a long time ago. We swam miles in the pool at high school. I had to be at school at 6AM for workouts that lasted for 2 hours. Then we had the normal 1 hour class workout the last hour of school. I never though of it as hard, I just wanted to be in the water. I look back now and wonder how I did that. K
October 22, 20214 yr Thanks Steven, I now have your in Burbank in my mind, not Chicago. Now I think of you, don't laugh, that you live where the Beverly Hillbillies was filmed, is that correct? I do not know why but now that just pops up in my head as like the closing at the end of the episode. My husband was a fan of shows in that time period and this was one of them. K
October 22, 20214 yr Congralutions on 4 months, Kris! You're doing great tackling all the challenges and keeping your quit. Great work!

K I don't know about Beverly Hillbillies, but the Partridge Family was filmed right down the street.
