This will be some ramblings that I can't share on social media. Too many nosy know it betters that will pass judgement upon me and my own. Though even those lurk around here too.
Get your ass up and Move
My sub had been having trouble catching his breath the end of October. I got him into out PCP and he was quickly diagnosed with possible clots in his lungs. Uh oh...that is not good. Off to the ER to get him checked out. 6 hours later he was admitted for that reason. Blood thinners were being introduced to get them "dissolved".
To make a story short...3 days later I got him back home. Blood thinners in the pill box to continue "dissolving" his clots. The ones in his lungs, his breathing was greatly improved, but the 2 they found in his leg, Deep Vein Thrombosis. The ones, the doctor felt, started all of this. If left untreated this could have been deadly.
Instructions were given to get up and move those legs, no sedentary life unless you want this to happen again. So my nagging gets to continue. He is better at getting up sometimes, but more never hurt. With nice weather I got him outside as often as I could. With cold winter, it is the loop in our house for us. Though I may set up exercise stations to give a variety to his walks.
I keep hoping that calm and boring will become a part of our life. We've had enough bad excitement over the last 3 years in my opinion (CoVid, gout, derecho, 2 broken arms). Excitement I can do without...well unless it is of the sexual nature. Bring that on.
One year later
It has been a year since I broke my arms and spider cracked my cheek. I am at about 85 percent of my function. Which I am happy with. But I will keep working to get a bit more if the muscles come back and get strong again. I can do most of what I did before. I do have some adjustments to the few things that are still not as easy.
One example is putting up my hair in a bun. I have to "prop" my right elbow up against a table, sink, or doorway to hold it up in the upright position. It has to look funny, but it works for me.
Anyway...I had those little nagging thoughts and feelings from the accident for the two months prior. It was a little voice that I would hear. I heard it, but it wasn't going to scare or run my life. I know that I had to be careful so as not to do anything like that again. Me being on and having to use a ladder is just what happens. I am more stable on a ladder than sub is.
I just make sure that I place the ladder better. Three or four times to make sure it is set. No movement, no mole tunnel under a leg, and not too steep. I don't do it alone, just in case or if it needs to be held stable. Being safe is my big concern.
Sub and I made it through this time, but would we in another instance? It depends on sub's health and attitude.
I drug my feet getting my winter prep done. Last year I was way ahead with things. Should I be that prepared again so karma or the universe can kick me in the ass? It is mid November and I am pretty much done now. Thankfully the weather has been decent to be able to finish up.
I have some leeks, carrots, and kale left in the garden. They will be removed by the end of the week. That will clean up that area.
Then winter and the snow can come and I'll be longing for spring. I'll be ordering my seeds by the end of the month. Getting my garden planned in my head so that come February I can start my seeds.
Anyway...I've been thinking of exercises for keeping my shoulder stretched. I don't want it to get stiff. Maybe this will help to gain a wee bit more range...strength. I think some of what I do not have is muscle strength. Doing exercises could help with that, I feel.
To wrap this up I am back to doing. Things are getting done (except that damn roof - but next spring just wait.) There are good days, there are bad days. More normal...for us.

Sounds like great progress to me. My kids have banned me from ladders as I have no feeling in my feet and that creates problems. However, there are gutters and drains which must be cleared and so I am occasionally naughty and ignore them. Please be careful!

My heart goes out to you. I also fell from a ladder years ago and shattered the bones in one of my wrist's. I still have plates and screws on my bones holding everything together. I have nerve damage and am partially numb on my lower hand and my wrist has limited movement and feels continuously sore. I have about 80% use of my hand and I am thankful for what I have. It took years for my wrist to begin to feel somewhat normal and I to had to adjust how I do many things. When I hear or read about other people being injured from falls it hits a real soft spot in my heart. I am glad your improving, stay physically active, which I sounds like you are.

Glad to hear of your progress and continued confidence!
Time for a Hair Cut
Every couple months sub needs a hair cut, that I give him. I have made him sit on a full JBL while I cut his hair, naked under a plastic hair drape, cape.
This time I changed it up on him. No JBL, no plain old chair to just sit on. I put his vibrating butt plug in. I had him sit on it and did my barber duties. As the remote is not working I turned the plug on, adjusted the speed, and inserted the vibrating plug. A new situation for both sub and I. He took it like a champ.
Considering the plug is about 6 inches long it is quite the length, for my sub, to sit on for too long. He was a good boy and did it like a champ. No wiggling or squirming from him. He did give a couple soft moans and an eye roll or two...showing he was enjoying the stimulation in his bum.
But in a short bit he was less shaggy, less hairy, and all neat and tidy. I took the plastic drape off of him and told him to pull and clean the plug.
It was a nice change up to what normally happens with his haircuts. I'll remember that.
Add a battery purchase, to fix the remote, and the next time I can adjust the vibrating pattern and the intensity of the vibration.

Socks, no. It starts out closed, for getting ready. But it is opened, for filling while the hair cut occurs.

In the old model, was the JBL shut while the haircut took place?

his ability to not wiggle or squirm is admirable!!! I doubt I could handle that...quite a predicament* proud of his ability to please his Mistress!
3 years ago...
3 years ago a nasty, destructive storm rolled over the state of Iowa. In hours it crossed the whole state. Leaving devastation in areas scattered all over pockets of eastern Iowa. With winds in our area of 120 to 140 miles an hour.
Many learned a new term - derecho. One no one will forget. There are still skylines that are open and not as full as they were. This will not change for years
The pictures of our yard make my heart hurt and eyes tear up. Such a mess. Such a waste of materials just blow apart. So much mess.
I learned that we had friends who really cared. Even our kids stepped up to help start the clean up. I learned I can work hard and do more than I ever thought. I am more able to do than I thought.
The pile of salvaged lumber, kindling piles, new shelves, and even the still standing wall show that we came along way in under 4 months of clean up.
I'll do what needs done today - garden picking possibly farmers market. But in my mind I'll revisit those horrible memories of destruction in my head.
We, all in our area, made it through. It didn't hear us or break us. It hopefully made us stronger.

Good that the issue was discovered the way it was, considering the alternatives. Tell Sub I said hi, and I am in the same boat he is. There are a lot of us that need to get moving everyday to stay alive. I guess the saying "use it or lose it" applies to the human body too!

I had my first physical in years last year. I was professionally told I need to be more active. I hate running, really hate it. But I like walking and from previous jobs I was the pack mule a lot. So I started rucking and I really enjoy it. I've worked my backpack (and body) up to 65 pounds and will do about 2-4 miles a time. Its great for podcasts and just letting my mind wonder.

@MissStress 🌹 a long time ago my husband 🌹💞 @Meat_Monster was having to go through some physical therapy with parallel bars to help him walk. I would stand at the opposite end and flash my tits at him to get him down the way to give him a "goal" to aim for. At home I would take off my clothes and have him follow me all over the house as I took the long way around to get to our bedroom. He's so worth it. 💗😘🌹
Now that he is back to his old self, sort of 😘, I still make sure he gets a lot of movement and not just in bed so that his joints don't stiffen up or all the hard work he's done go to waste. We have some home exercise equipment in the Mother Ship that we use a lot and I will spot for him with nothing on and it seems to motivate him. Keep your guy going and I hope he gets better.
