Lin's Quest for a Healthier Life


I am 73, retired and a couch potato. I am diabetic. Heart disease runs in my family and was the c.o.d. of both my parents and a brother. Four other siblings have also had heart problems. I want to lose weight so I can ward off health problems and hopefully be around to see my grandchildren grow up. I am an avid reader- reading at least 4 books a week - and also love needle crafts such as cross-stitching and crocheting.
Seven years ago I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands as well ...

Seven years ago I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands as well as a cardiac catheterization which revealed two heart blockages for which I received two stents. One of my major problems is trying to control my food portions!
This summer I have been having a lot of trouble with my knees - pain from arthritis. I have been getting some cortisone injections to help with this pain! The cortisone injections did not help!

    It has to be $$ that drives the governors to open the states. The medical experts all say this is not a good idea and the infection rates will only increase. Who knows what it will be like in a couple of months. I went out twice during the stay at home order, went early, and it wasn't too bad. Now that the order has been lifted, I think that will change. Ugh!

    Stay safe. Be well. emoticon emoticon
