Ok, I see. Epsom salt’s will help, but as B2 mentioned, going to have to get the ultimate Old persons accoutrement for the tub, a hand rail🤣

Not sexy I know, but it will help prevent something like what happened. You live alone I think you mentioned? If you’d of hit your head, no telling…I don’t want to think about it.

Hope you’re feeling a little better today and not too sore.
I am resting up...stairs are tough but I will soldier on...😃
 
I just finished a story about a 50-something and a 30-something starting a relationship. It took a lot of energy -- for one, because I have a difficult time imagining the 30-something who inspired the story wanting to get down with me.
Anyway, if accepted by Lit, I hope to turn it into a series about their relationship. I have an end to the series in mind, so it may be a four- or five-story series. I just don't know if I have the ENERGY to keep up with what she inspires. lol
 
Good morning to some and afternoon to those in Europe. A cold morning here after a delightful week. Please coffee first!

It's warm here today. Perfect, actually, in the low 70s, clear, and sunny. Because we have no cloud cover, temps will plunge after dark to high 30s.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! ☘️🇮🇪🍀
 
I did the ultimate old person thing yesterday and fell in the bathtub....when preventing my face from planting in the floor (stepping out of tub and my foot caught) i messed myself all upv
OMG, MissK! Are you alright? Break, twist, sprain, or bruise anything? 🫂🫂🫂
 
I just woke up again from a nightmare I was working back in the emergency room after 7 years away from the bedside with no training and they gave me the sick of patients and kept checking my computer away it was awful.
That does sound like a nightmare! 😱😳😱
 
Yeah, all my muscles hurt my shoulder hurts from grabbing the sink and pushing myself back so that I wouldn't face plant. And my right leg hurts cuz that's what hit the side of the tub. Could have been a lot worse
Do you need some grab bars? A hunky attendant? A hoyer lift??? JK on the last one! 😅😅

Let us know when it goes up. I'd be interested in reading it.
 
This will be a good week for me. Thursday is a public holiday so it's like a short 3 day week, a short weekend, then work half day Friday and then to the mountains Friday and Saturday night for a getaway, really looking forward to it.
 
I was pressure washing our front walkway and driveway and messed up my back a bit! Hopefully it’ll recover as I sleep!
Were you able to rest your back? I hope you put some ice on it. It will feel a bit still and sore when you wake. Be easy on yourself. 🫂🫂
 
Do I get sympathy for self-inflected day after St Patrick’s Day hangover?

I swear these come with less alcohol and last longer every year lol
It's inflation, everything goes up, as well as the price of Guinness. But if it takes less alcohol to get pickled, that's good isn't it? 😆
 
Here’s some good news for the over 50 crowd to start the week. I came across an article in this morning’s Wall Street Journal that describes research pointing to Viagra as a potential treatment for Alzheimers. The article is paywalled so I found a report from the Cleveland Clinic that is one of the sources of research cited in the WSJ article. At this point, the studies just show correlation between Viagra use and sharply reduced incidence of Alzheimers, not causation. Controlled studies and clinical trials are needed but the data is encouraging.

Any cure for Alzheimer’s would be great. Terrible thing.

Unlikely to work on me tho. I took Viagra once, which had the intended effect but I’d forgotten what to do with it. So maybe too late for me 🤔
