So true 'if only you knew'. Getting old solo is awful. I must learn to overcome obstacles move forward, go places. It's hard to find someone available at 76 yrs old. There are cancellations, more spats amongst friends and appropriate groups are few and far between, Life doesn't forgive. Meanwhile after total hip replacement just over 4-months ago and bronchiectasis, I'll look forward to live theatre show in Oct. 2024.
I encourage you to keep up your strength, stretch, make use of a resistance band very morning. Get stronger and more resilient.

Hi, Tessie (@tessie)

Thank you for the words of encouragement! I try to do the very things you advise. I have my resistance band beside me as I type this as a reminder of what I must do next: Get up and get moving! Movement is key; the more, the better. I have Twyla Tharp's book, Keep It Moving, beside my bed to read in snippets every evening as I'm about to turn off the light and every morning as I'm about to get up.

Take care! Stay strong!
Best wishes,
Ray (@ray666)
