I am glad to say that everything here continues to be well. This house is busy for sure. People in and out primarily family, nurses some friends and way too much foodlol🐖🐖🐖🐖The aides, nurses etc have been great. I still have had not one headache or pain in my skull despite the monster tumor in my head to which I thank God! I truly have not suffered or had the adversity that most peoplwho are in terminal terminal care. Most of my pain has been in the psychological area whereas I lost my personal identity and purpose for a while. But per yesterday’s writing I have gotten over that hump. I had my first bumpy night last night no pain but joint discomfort.

I know exactly what it is from its is as easy as 1plus 1 really.

Ia have literally gone from pushing myself through the day for well over 4.5 yea. Well 3 weeks ago when I became so weak that I could no longer go down the stairs safely.and could not walk and get up without struggle set into motion my bodies joint issues. I was told years ago by an orthopedicswhen I had broken my leg on ice and needed to have medical care.The  Doctorsaid  in order to maintain a body it has to move I remember him showing me his medical signage and showed me the composition of the body, skeletal, muscle, tendons and the elements of the bone, cartilage. He said Dan always walk because walking will allow your muscles to keep your tendons tight and will keep your joints tight. At that time I was a busy working dad and would literally run the stairwell 2-3 steps at a time. But with my work which included hanging my clients wall covering I truly loved that expression of installing something that dramatically changed an environment in a way that a lot of other design applications could not plus God gave me the ability to instal the mete rials at a very high level. My clients were thrilled I was proud and my client list just took off. So, again God was blessing me/and us as a family business. For the record My brother Bob was excellent too he was a faster hanger than me but always shot for perfection. I miss the Riley boy days as my clients called us it was a special time my parents were so proud of us all too. It was a dream for them to see us going after our dream together.

Back in th1990’s mid I began to have trouble with my right knee because I did a lot of stairwell drop sections I would sit ackwardly on a angle of the step to drop, smooth and trim the baseboard level of the wall covering. Sitting that way put a lot of pressure on the side of my knee to stay stable and to keep my knee in the joint properly. So, on a few occasions my knee became disjointed I got that oh God, this kills feeling and moved and the joint would pop back in . I had begun to weaken my joint so this became more common. One day I was working and kneeling and twisted my body and I totally tore my cartilage it was called a bucket tear. The joint could not Remove could not stand up, I could not walk the joint was totally blocked. I was taken from Arlington that day to Mt. Auburn and told that I needed surgery to memove the damaged cartilage that was crippling me.

 

. After surgery and time .i was as good as new and always kept active. Like the Doctor said that day once you lose your legs Dan all of the movement of your arms your core muscles for strength and stamina will be lost. That includes respiratory as well.so, what I am seeing as of last night for the first time is that my body is aching for movement. That Dr’s little talk years ago set into my reality that we are a strong yet fragile body. That needs to be tuned. By pushing myself after that time and walking the beautiful lake here doing loops and the new tracks herein Wakefield, and in Winchester I have been able to keep my body moving and pain free. I love walking. I currently cannot but I am hoping to down the line. I waould love to walk the lake with Janet as we used to do hand and hand and we would just talk about whatever. Those are the moments that inspire me to move along. I would also love to see a grandchild if it is Gods will and be down the lake to watch the baby play as my kids did. I know I have no personal control over anything. I can only say this. I have been here for far longer than and Dr. Said I would be and still feel really great aside from exhaustion. I believe that everything is possible through God. I am living in his will today, and plan on staying there too. Peace is flowing like a river.Amen

so, if you are living a life stuck in a chair or just do not feel great. Get a friend , get up and go safely off to envigorate your mind body and Spirit. It will change your day and perhaps your life too.

 

God Bless you all, Keep the faith, your hope and your zest for life too.

 

i actually began this blog a few days ago and since myorginal part spoke of my joints bothering me. I got up and did just general movement again to try and prove my educated guess based on my Dr, orthopedics from the 1990’s I moved around my first floor hallway with my cane and family and got a bit of exercise.it worked and I slept like a baby and my joints feel better. I had my personal care attendant here today and will walk my halls in a short while with my family and my cane. So, my suggestion if your feeling ache and tried from sleeping and laying down get some assistance and a buddy and get moving !❌⭕️👍❤️.

 

whats even more impressive is this. That I have always marveled at the fact that God has made us so strong that even though we can get sick but we are able to receive chemo and radiative treatment at a high level. And even though I am on in home hospice once I got pain from lack of moment the little bit of work that I have done my body accepted it and reacted by strengthening up more.Now, that’s another MiracleAll of my friends with cancer, depression whatever are always told by me to get up and get going in sitting we create ruts, depression and despair movement is life. Especially outside in nature the smells the sights and the sounds. I have had a lot of friends over the years who joined walking clubs in the malls. It became a motivational safe and dry destination to meet friends and to excerise in a safe weathertight location. No ice etc.

Another great option.

 

Just keep your your self positive, hopeful and move forward towards your new tomorrow it’s waiting. Plus, you may inspire someone else that you love too towards a better path.

 

With love,

 

just found this this song today for the blog and put it onto my Facebook wall as well. All is well. Gods got this!
