My daughter is musically inclined like I was. She is 12 and I am the only one that ever goes to her concerts. i think she is great. She plays really good and enjoys it so much. i love watching her play and often close my eyes to single her out.
I decided not to do anything today but my stretches and light reading and some sewing. i wanted to be able to sit through her concert. I did pretty good. But after it was over I could not get up!! I was stuck in the chair. That was embarrassing and I had to wait for her to come and find me. She helped me up and glared at people who said anything.
I am now sore tonight in the lower body and I think a storm is moving in.
I just wanted to say how grateful I was that my daughter does understand. i am hard on her at times when i am in pain. I just wanted to share.

Hello- I am new to the group
-
My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
Good luck,
jon
What I do when I get "stuck" in a chair, a booth, is I raise my legs up while I'm sitting down, I massage the knees up to the hip, and I take my time moving the body, toes, feet, calf, knee, thigh, hip, and rest between each movement of the "rock". Sometimes, I have to do this two or three times before I can move and as I move, it takes a few steps before I can stand up straight.
Hope this helps, and glad you made it to the concert!
