No, Darling, it is not. It's very hard to be seriously sick.<br />But think of you supportive friends who commented on this post, alone. Isn't Suzette a Sweetheart? Sharing her 'scooter tips', like that. And Lynn B., who wants you to make certain that all you have is a pulled muscle. And Laura who praised you for fighting back with your healthy attitude, and of course...your wonderful sense of humour. We love you, Coni!<br />Seriously, Coni, please get your calf checked out. My sweet sister developed DVT back in January...a very serious situation! If you still find it hard to walk today, I would go to the doctor!

But what was this about limitations and recognizing them? Okay, chastising over. Ditto to the Biofreeze. Double ditto to Amazon Prime Pantry. (And Honey, Prime is probably cheaper than the Targets.) In so far as muscle spasms, cramps, etc. go: tonic water. Drink it. It has quinine which was used as a medicine in the days of sea voyages. I have a lot of issues with cramps and spasms in the legs and that's what my doctor recommended--but check with your doctor first. Unfortunately, you have to drink it straight--no gin.

Here are my tips:
1...I happen to be scooter expert. Here are my tips:<br />1. Go out early in the day. There's lots of gimps out here and we all want a scooter.<br />2. You can judge the availability of the scooter supply before you go into the store by how many handicapped parking spots are available. If they're all filled, chances are slim that a scooter is going to be available.<br />3. You never have to ask for help to reach something. People are v happy to approach out of the blue and ask you if they can help you.<br />4. In case there is no one around and you need something from a high shelf, carry a cane with you. take the cane and make like you are going to knock something down from the top shelf and people will come running out of nowhere to help you.<br />5. Never drive the scooter out to the parking lot. Stop at the door, transfer your stuff to a regular cart and plug the scooter in for the next guy.<br />6. If you see a scooter outside just waiting for you to climb into it DON'T DO IT. Those seats get hot pretty fast and you will have a new health problem called Roasted Butt Cheeks.Suzettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813006958642845108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-1042824354484670762017-07-18T08:29:52.723-04:002017-07-18T08:29:52.723-04:00Coni, two things--1) Did you call your doctor just...Coni, two things--1) Did you call your doctor just in case it isn't a pulled muscle? With your health issues, I'm sure she'd want to know. 2) Take your perishables in first and let the rest wait until you feel up to going out to the car again. Sometimes it would take my mom a week to unload all her shopping from the car because she'd bring it in a bag at a time when she wasn't feeling well. (And she'd never ask for help! And it wasn't always safe to offer.)OK, I lied, three things--get to know a neighbor with a kid looking to make a couple bucks. And pay said kid to haul your groceries upstairs. <br /><br />Hope you're feeling a bit better.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178817375756864209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-79390965014781725032017-07-18T06:23:14.014-04:002017-07-18T06:23:14.014-04:00Hugs and prayers, Coni.

Amazon's pantry boxes are worth a look, although I do not what the local grocery stores or the local Target will do for you. <br />Match.com. It is amazing what one can find on line these days. I met my marvelous husband on Match.com in May of 2000. By then, my therapist and I had managed to stitch me back together pretty well. I signed up one evening, and the next morning, there he was. 3 paragraphs that turned out to be perfection. Now way back in 2000, EHarmony did not exist. As we watch those commercials together, we look at each other and say "maybe we should give that a try", and laugh hysterically. Yeah, we are weird.<br /><br />By the way, I am rather fluffy....that didn't seem to be a hindrance. <br /><br />And on an entirely different subject, Go Arya. I am so relieved I was not playing the Game of Thrones drinking game last night, as I would not have seen anything after the first 5 minutes. As we move forward with a song in our heart and a rabbit on the spit, there is only one thing to do. Shall we begin?<br /><br />Prayers continue.....<br /> Ginger2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/09801629650254512597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-69891902818809560842017-07-17T22:37:10.301-04:002017-07-17T22:37:10.301-04:00Coni,

Drive up to the front door and have they put into the car. Haven't tried it yet but friends have and love it. Your target delivers so the question is does your target have a grocery? One of mine does, one doesn't.

Sometimes we have turned around because there aren't any and we live about 1/2 an hour away. Ah well, such is life. We do the best we can with what we've got. Praying your calf will heal QUICKLY!
