Hello…you might be responding to my post about making sure I do strengthening and balancing exercises every day. And I do DO them. I did not, however, say that I liked to do them, that they were easy to do, that they were painless, or that I did them with anyone else around to see me cry through the pain while I did what I need to do to keep me out of a nursing home or hospital. I want to do whatever I can…pain or no pain…to kick the can a little further down the road with my family. I just might make it to see the Green Bay Packers win another Super Bowl!!

I certainly admire your tenacity and can do spirit. I CAN do the exercises. It's later in the day and the next day that does me in. My average daily pain level is 7-8. After doing 10-15 "girlie" push ups and 10-15 half squats, the pain will ramp up to a strong 9. Same experince walking a litlle or cycling a short distance.Thats with a pain pump and meds. I have to spend most of the next day lying on the bed, gritting my teeth to not give in to the pain. I try not to let my wife kanow just how bad it is, although I suspect she does know.
