    @snowflake954 Is it your scary nerve? Sciatica. You've been working so hard. I'd take care of Maw for you. An 82 year 'young', woman went into assisted living this fall. She fell, so now they've put her into a care center. I get your Maw. Care centers can be depressing as all get out. After that, they move them into hospice.

    Care centers are closing all around me. No one wants to work there anymore. They can't find help. Having children does not guarantee they'll take care of you in the end. There was a news report this week that skilled workers are falling by the wayside, too. Without plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, nurses, farmers and ranchers, what will people do.

    With the care centers closing, kids have to pick up their parents and figure it out. I'm glad you have the squirrels to brighten your days. That senior friend who makes the coffee, she is a diamond. She picks up the tab for school kids who can't afford a lunch. She buys trunk loads of food for the food cupboards. She ain't big on pomp and pretense. She only pops off to the hoity toity, those with their noses perpetually stuck in the air. I can't help but laugh. She bought me something really special. I will cherish it until the day I take a dirt nap.

    They just had a big talk at the famous museum about my aunt's life. The lady rancher and cowgirl. I'd show you her photo, but I've reined my family history in. I know myself. B)

    Snowflake, does the therapy pool help your leg. Your family needs to send you to the mineral spa in Tuscany. Saturnia. I have no idea what they'd do without you. You're a national treasure, too.
    We can only take it one day at a time. What else can we do.

    That's nice about your aunt. I don't need the fine details, the internet is a fun, but dangerous place. Better to not give out random information, however, I do remember all your stories from past threads. It's Western color--in 3D. You have an amazing family. Hold em' close.

    As you know I exercise and stretch a lot--over 10 hours a week. I also started Tai Chi again and THAT stretches everything out. There's an amazing Chinese woman that does the class at our fitness center. She's 56 and is so supple she can twist herself into a pretzel. I'll be satisfied with a lot less. B) I still do yogaflex once a week too. It all helps. Being of north European descent a hip replacement is in my DNA. I've been holding it off for years, but sooner or later the piper will be paid. I'm afraid that may be the problem. Gotta see what shape my cartilage is in next.

    We have a lovely whirlpool at our Fitness Center but it's been closed since COVID. I loved it, especially in the winter. You know, with all those hot springs in your neck of the woods.

    I'll let you know what the doc says. Nite.

    Absolutely. Yes, it is.

    I hope you don't need a hip replacement. One of my relatives had both knees and hips replaced. All four have already worn out. She's in constant pain. She's not heavy, never has been. She's a downhill ski instructor, golfer, biker, hiker and swimmer.

    I'll be sending one UP the flagpole for you.
