@pollyanne Good for you and yes it is important for your health to exercise. I haven't been able to because of my back. Have lost my stomach muscle tone and gained 11 pounds, although my endocrinologist said it was from The Tymlos I was injecting everyday to increase my bone mass. He said I could go off of it for 2 weeks and see if it make a difference, but I have to get my surgeons ok. My surgery is June 9th. I can hardly wait. I know I will have pain afterwards, but at least I will be on pain pills then. It much be frustrating having all those freqent bathoom visits. Maybe you should check in with your doctor. What a trip, that's one I wouldn't be able to do because of my depression and anxiety. We went to Paris a long time ago. My son was attending Stanford and he had an exchange with Oxford for six months. We stayed in Paris first and it was so cold that the top of the Eifle sp tower was frozen. Then we went to Oxford and I enjoyed my trip more at Oxford. Once I got home I had very bad depression. My doctor told me it was because I traveled a long way. I don't know, maybe it was just a bout of depression that I do get, but haven't for awhile.
