Chapter 186 - Just Another Year/Decade

I think I mentioned that long before Xmas she began embroidering fridge magnets, then dozens of Xmas cards, then made several aprons and embroidered them and in the new year a small quilt for her sister followed by another to match the one (her first, made years ago when we were over West) she places on my bed. She is now dressing a doll, about 500mm high, bought a long time ago. Too long at these activities causes lots of back & leg pain, so it seems important that she daily do her 30 minutes of Wii Fit. We missed a couple of sessions on Thursday & Friday so yesterday the pain drove her to spending a short time on the tread mill and on going to bed she needed the TENS. Our enthusiasm for Wii Fit has waned; although we both find the half our of exercise very beneficial.

The last time she saw our GP we told him that she had stopped taking Lipitor and that the pain & tingling in her hands & arms had faded away. He was unconcerned, although he referred her for a blood test by March to ensure all is OK including cholesterol. Her coccyx no longer troubles her and she does not bother with her special cushion when in the truck. She often has bruising on her rear, arms & legs that I don't think I have mentioned before; just one of those things seemingly always been characteristic of her and without remembered causes. Apart from the Lipitor, her meds have not changed as far as I know.
