Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group
Many of you living with cancer or an autoimmune disease, like me, deal with daily fatigue. You know that exercise is so important to your health, but it’s so hard. There’s always an excuse: it’s too cold or hot, it’s going to rain or it’s raining, or it’s snowy and icy, or I just don’t want to. I, too, have all these excuses, but I have a new rescue dog who wants to go out and who doesn’t care about my excuses! And I’ve got traction devices for my boots.Now I just need a walking group who will keep me accountable. People who say, ‘let’s go for a walk.'
And I thought: What about my virtual friends on MayoClinicConnect?
Mayo Clinic has an easy 12-week walking program to get us started! Here’s the link:
- Get walking with this 12-week walking schedule https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/get-walking-with-this-12-week-walking-schedule/
So let’s form a virtual walking group. We can agree to walk every day and encourage each other through Connect. We can walk outdoors, in a mall, or in the red center, or in the hallways of our apartment building.
Who’s in? Who’s going to join me?
Come on, Let’s Go Walking!

The first time I ever heard of referrals was when I was with my nephew at a dental office, he’s a dental anesthesiologist. I don’t know how common they are. There are numerous medical conditions where some dentists will want a referral from a physician. It’s not only Western Dental. My nephew occasionally will require one and he’s in private practice.
Take care,
Jake

1 Reaction@jakedduck1 I never heard of it before the reason they wanted a note from my Dr was I'm 77 an old lady according to them
@lioness. Have you ever had to get a doctor's note before? Is it because of covid?
I have the same issue! I went to bed last “night” at about 0330!
Sorry, haven’t used the Amish one! As a retired RN, be careful with that Tramadol. Have taken care of people used to it, and I couldn’t make them comfortable with morphine or hydromorphone (Dilaudid) IV!
