Going back to normal life

After being off prednisone for much of the last 4 years, I look forward to my NEW normal.

My 12 years on prednisone for PMR were characterized by extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and an overall decline in health. I rather not look back on that except to share my experiences.

An exercise bike and treadmill is now okay for me too. Pickle ball is tempting and I may give it a try someday.

I don’t need to pace myself anymore. I thrive more with water exercise rather than land exercise. At least I’m able to exercise again.

I’m like a kid learning what I can still do rather than what I used to do.

How exciting! I am simply pea
green with envy!! My life has been divided into pre-RA and post RA. And now there’s another layer of pre and post lobectomy. I remember my 50’s with fondness - golf, gardening, entertaining, traveling and working. I need to figure out what will be something I can look forward to now.

I hope you learn pickleball and love It!!!!
