@ray666 Thanks, Ray.
I hope your weekend is going well too. Since being retired it's difficult to distinguish weekends from weekdays, except for appointments on weekdays.

I am on Tymlos for osteoporosis and that often lowers BP so I hope when I come off of it (you can only be on it for a limited amount of time) that my BP doesn't increase by so much that I need a medication again. I'm already taking more medications than I like.

I do a lot of YouTube exercise videos and there are many out there for balance. I really should get back to doing some of those but when I do push myself to exercise I generally either do cardio or exercises with weights. I realize that balance is more functional but I like the feeling of accomplishing more with the other types of exercises.

Good morning, JK (@contentandwell) and Heria (@heria)

So much of what we experience is mysterious. Yesterday I underwent an EMG exam and then met with the doctor. He was at a loss as to just what is my chief problem, other than to say it's something in the neurologic "gray area." He's referring me "up" the specialists' chain to meet with the Top Neurology Doc at our local hospital. In the meantime, both my swollen feet & ankles and my poor balance remain mysteries!

Merry Monday to us all!
