- Go to Does This Mean I'm Getting Old?
Well Taps I could hardly walk three weeks ago. Now I can. I know I am on 
steroids
but I think one has to try to keep on the move as much as possible. Of course I
might have to keep on a low dose. I did try to dig a small trench in the garden. The
ground was so hard I gave up.

The good news is that you have plenty of time between now and spring to improve.

Good morning
I believe that you are onto something. My knees have been giving me problems this winter. I can't wait until the spring so that I can get back out and start walking again. Sitting around and snacking is the worst thing that we can do to ourselves.

Re: Kabu
Yep. You may be right. It just took me by surprise this year. I've been pretty moveable until now.

darling Taps time to do passive exercises. Lying in bed before you get out devise some simple exercises with your legs. wiggle those toes lift each leg one after the other then together. Not far, an inch or two high because you will be pushing against the bed covers. Then a few upper movements with hands and arms and Finally sitting up moving each limb two or three times. Doesn't matter how well you do them, just try each day. You may need an injection in that knee to keep it going.
