I have shrunk half an inch. If you can't exercise are you walking? Is there not anything you can do? That's depressing for you.

For the last seven years, I would do pool walking two hours every day. But a year ago, I developed an ulcer on my tailbone and it got severely infected with three types of bacteria and I couldn’t go back into the pool. I can’t walk at all except in the pool where the water holds me up when I get in up to my neck. I push myself forward with my arms and my feet follow along. It was a great exercise, but I haven’t been able to go back into the pool because my ulcer has not healed. It’s been over a year now that I have been going to my wound care doctor. Of course, the pool has been closed to everyone because of the virus.
