@cindylb- Hip hip hooray! I say this because you are dealing with this in such a fabulous way. Tying up loose ends is a definite plus toward a great result. Are the two of you getting our an walking when the weather is good?

Not much exercising or walking for either of us. For me that's a goal for this year. I used to have time for exercise and know it will make a difference for me....but it's been a long year in 2018 and a very, very long story. For my husband we have to figure out something that will work. He gardens in the summer and feels much better for the exercise and time outdoors but his COPD makes it difficult to get out in the winter months and cold AND he had a serious accident with his feet some 50+ years ago and has extreme foot pain now which they cannot treat. The peripheral neuropathy is so bad that chemo is not even recommended (should they ever figure out the cancer) and suggest that. That's why I think pulmonary rehab might be a good first step because perhaps we can figure out some tips for getting my husband moving. I work a part time job right now where I stand, walk and etc for 5 hours two times a week and because my husband's health is not good, I do all the housecleaning, chores, errands, etc....so I get a reasonable amount of exercise, but I look forward to getting back to my regular walks, swimming, etc when things (if things) quiet down.
