Ginger - Turtle pace is great, as you say, for really seeing what is out there. I have always been a Type-A walker, reluctant to slow down, but health issues and the desire to walk with husband and friends whose abilities differ has led me to appreciate the time to stop and notice. So now I have days when I walk to see the world thoroughly and days when I WALK for exercise - used to run, but alas, no more.

Sue, you can walk!!!! And you do every day possible, often more than one time daily. You walk, lady! You are admirable, pat yourself on the rear-end and get going some more. I think you all deserve a star on your forehead, just like firesty76 said.
I've been getting some good comments and discussions from my doctors recently. My testing results are all improved. I am going for an endoscopy to balloon the Schazti Ring that sometimes stops my water swallow or food from going beyond my mid-sternum. Then, I'm through with everything internal for awhile....only hearing aids and glasses w/prisms....still don't have them due to autoimmune issues in both ears and eyes. I'm getting those worked through, so will get going on the hearing/seeing solutions in week after endo.

I think I just have more normal, follow-up visits unless some need arises.

PCP ordered heated therapy pool PT to resume after endo. the 3rd.! I'm thrilled. Seems, I'm better than in years now, have to get the body able to move and get going.....so, scheduled walks with the pool and I'm again on the way to improving health, breathing, overall conditioning and for sure, mental health.

thanks, folks. You are all such great characters, with interesting personalities and interests and suggestions...you help others more than you realize. I thank you. Bless each of you. elizabeth
