Hello, and Happy Holidays!

Hello, and Merry Christmas to all who observe and celebrate it. Just stopping in to greet you and to say I hope all is well with everybody.
I have been enjoying my time off as well as getting some much-needed rest. The way the weather has been here in Chicago, my body has been needing it. A week ago, it was in the 30s’ and cold and rainy with some snow during the day and in the teens at night. Today was dry with a high of 51, and tomorrow will be dry with a temperature of 58 with cold, damp days ahead again. So, as it goes, I am on a CFS/FM roller coaster again. But, not all is lost. My friend Judi, who is also my guardian angel, belongs to the local fitness center and suggested I accompany her to use the therapy pool there. Ah, yes, an answer to my problems. It felt wonderful. I did my therapy exercises and stretches in the warm water, and it helped. We made the decision to do this several times a week to keep our arthritis and inflammation at bay. I never thought of using a therapy pool. I’m considering taking up water aerobics as well. I had an appointment with my nurse practitioner this afternoon and asked her opinion, and she said that would be a good idea. She said it wouldn’t hurt anything, and it is much easier to stretch while my muscles are warm and relaxed.

Well, that’s all for now. I’ll probably check in another time or two before the first of the year.
Take care, everybody, and I will, “talk” to you again.
Hugs!
Beckie.
