I keep the stereo in my car at a low volume all the time so no need to turn it down.

It's always on, though.

Funny you say that. I was just complaining about being old; too many aches and pains.

I’m sure my aches and pains can’t compare to what you went through.

Yep, all in fun. If I can't complain a little to my friends on the forum, then where can I?

Exercises and walk tonight; nothing's gonna keep me down.

Keep up the good work! Stay positive! I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true. There is nothing that can hold you back but yourself. You got this!

I know I never commented on your stuff, but I was reading it all. How are things going these days?

It's better every day by just a little bit. A lot of little bits are starting to add up to a little big bit. Walking a little better every day. Today I cruised over the (small) obstacle course in PT without any help, such as a walker or cane. Still using the walker around the house, as I don't want to wear my AFO boots, which stabilize me. 1: Because they aren't comfortable for a full day, (or even more than a couple hours), and 2: because the more I walk without them the better I get. 3 months ago I couldn't stand up. Today I drove myself to therapy. Lot's of good change! Thank you for reading, and asking!

I've never had my stereo at ear-bleed levels. For some reason, I like to hear what's going on with the car and outside. It is also painful...

Francoise Hardy...1/17/44 - 6/11/24

"She was the only French artist named in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 200 greatest singers of all time. Her ethereal voice and distinctive beauty captivated audiences worldwide, earning her praise from music legends such as Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and David Bowie."
“I was passionately in love with her. Every male in the world, and a number of females, also were,” Bowie once said.
