Going through that plantar fasciitis right now. Been about 6 weeks so far and only a slight reduction. Doc says not a lot you can do except excercise. Two excercises I've heard are to take a bottle of water, freeze or chill it and roll it under your foot. Instep and heel. Watching TV at the time helps. The other was to support the ball of the foot while pressing down on the heel. I have an immovable chest of drawers next to the bed. By sticking my leg out of bed and putting the ball of my foot on the side of the dresser and pressing down with the heel I can get an excercise session in while lying in bed and thinking about getting up in the morning. (I'm not lazy all the time. I lead a couple of walking groups and a cycling group each week:thumbsup:)

How about walking to another room in the house to get something or do something and by the time you get there, you forget what you went for.

Been there, done that AND still do it.Welcome to My world.:laughing:Heading for 70 and not MPH.:laughing:

Not to worry, it only gets worse as you grow older. :D
A while back after being out for an hour or 2, I have one black shoe & 1 brown shoe on. one is a high top & other a low.
Balance also goes to he77. Almost fell over a day or 2 ago. Needed to grab something. Grab an octiila. Not the right thing to grab. sharp thorns 1 to 2 inches long. Naturally it starts to bleed. My day is hardly ever complete until i do something stupid or painful.
A while back using a brad mailer, holding a board with 1 hand & shooting brads in from other side. Yep right into a joint in my finger.
Wanted to poke a hole in barn to run an extension cord through. naturally I had to hit my knuckle & thumb joint.
I can loose a tool while using it. If i lay it down & turn around, it must have moved its self.:D Cause its now in hiding.

Have several projects where I need to climb a ladder. Use both hands, look at where feet are. Move tool, & go up 1 step, then do it all again.

need to clean out crock pot for some ribs that I killed. Fill with soapy water. Forget it & leave it on high. Now worse than when I started.

Turning simple projects in to a real pain.
Have 3 routers, 1 is so wimpy, even on a light cut it stalls out. 1 Lost its ability to be adjusted up or down No problem I have another 1 that needs a new plug. That goes real well. Use to have a real good aluminum table, its gone, now have cheap plastic, it is crummy & way too light. Finally get a screw started, it will not go in, wrong threads?? 1/2 Hour, find tap, it cuts nothing, but screw go in. The routher is not a cheap O, Porter Cable. It adjusts up & down. Small problem, loosen hold in place screw. But its just a guess shove it up a little, look ooopps up to far, let it down a little, ooopps too much. In a little over an hour I have it set. Equal depth both ways. 1 more small problem. Cutting way to much, it keeps kicking board out.

When younger I could put a 50# sack of dog food under each arm & walk a 100 yards or more. Now its a problem just picking 1 up.

Having problems with hoses, no problem I have lots of them. Find 1 not too stiff, or kinked up. Lets use it, nice female coupling on the end, Use other end. another female coupling on other end as well. When, how & why did I do that. Must have been someone else.:laughing:

Its time for a beer, relax and let frustration ease up. 1 Beer will not do it, time for number 2 & 3. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

No more projects, enjoy ghe beer & think about what the he77 has become of me. Almost instantly, was in great shape about 5 years ago. Now 77, doubt that anything will get better.

Beer makers are starting to love me. :D

One year behind you,... and right there with you!
What a mess we are.
.....Good thing we are still here though!

Almost won the battle with water hoses!!
found 1 that seemed to be in good condition. Got it drug around & hooked up. Only got soaked with water 2/3 times. Almost 60 outside so not too bad. "Y" connector leaks, out of hose washers, had bought 10, used 2 & the others went into hiding. Was thinking of Doing away with the "Y", a good Idea. While thinking about it drying off a little, I see a fine spray shooting out. Was it from a kink in the hose, nope just couple of feet back from nozzle, no reason to leak there.

Sure would like to get a couple of the stainless hoses, but current $$$ supply says nope not now. When I get to town will get a couple of brass "Y"s & some cheap short hoses. They will last until The $$$ improves.

Had 3 fires in the last year, so a hose at the ready is important to me.. The other is need a dripping hose for the mutts & bird brats.

Did get the pole saw out of the tree. 1 Small victory.

Best way not to do anything wrong is not to do anything.:laughing: If it gets to the point i can't open a beer, that will be really bad. :thumbsup::thumbsup::laughing::licking:

You folks have fun & do not follow my lead.

this is why i always try to keep my cell phone in my pocket or within reach when under the tractor or working alone. my thought being, if something fell on me or i fell and broke something, i'd have a chance to reach the phone and call someone

Y'all had plantar fasciitis yet? With a few weeks of some stretches and some rub-on heel goo that the orthopedist had the compounding pharmacy make up, I am back to where I can walk ok. Now I have a new bedtime routine of lower leg stretches to try to keep it at bay. I'm told that as we age, our tendons tighten up and most of us will have these sort of problems.

Sure have and its a Biatch

I recently started hiding my keys to keep them out of sight of a certain irresponsible teenager. Of course, now that they're not where I've always kept them, I'm always forgetting them. I've gotten at least to the door, and a few times to the car, over the last couple of weeks before I remember that I didn't grab my keys.
Every.
Day.
Wife just chuckles at me know when she sees or hears me walking back through the house.

Made it to the door this morning. :muttering:
