The Other Side of Eighty Five

The other side of the age eighty-five is a mystery  even getting on this blogspot is a mystery..Still wondering how I pulled it off and will I be able to get back on???..good question , I really don't know.
Getting to the age of eighty-five was easy or seems like it now.  Time went quickly, I grew up, met a great guy, married him, had five children, eleven grand children, three great grandchildren..had my husband for 63 years..then he died, at my age now which is eighty five.  So there you have it..all in a nutshell.  So what happens at this side of eighty-five...I guess I'll find out and so will you.

The year is 2018, I am now in a residence, my health is okay, nothing to rave about...I have Arthritis which I see now that every one has that..so no surprise there.  I'm getting all kinds of health info about this.  I've joined Awish...the first letter, stands for Arthritis, don't remember what the other letters stand for.  I will be going every Wednesday now, along with the former exercises and routine, which is yoga and keep fit.   I had a free class and find it is terrific, the physio who leads the class does extra type exercise for fingers arms neck along with previous learned exercise in yoga and regular exercise...This class along with the others  keeps me busy at least 3 x a week, I'm looking to see if I should do it 4 x..as the doctor has said "Keep Moving"

Easy for him to say, I had my surprise visit from Arthritis at the end of Aug.  I was taking zumba which I love, but a very swollen ankle made me think, oh I've broken a small bone or pulled a ligament....well NO, it was  arthritis..that went away eventually but left me with another spot in my left leg also Arthritis...at first we or the doctor thought it was a pinched nerve...but NO, good old Arthritis.  I have learned that there are many ways of dealing with this ..depending is it Rhumatoid is it Osteo..I think in my case it's Osteo..it has been joined by a new problem, called "trigger finger"   wow sounds exciting as if I've been using a gun...but apparently it can go with golfing, or even something so blah as typing ..something I have been doing for years and years.

So there is another new item on this side of the age eighty-five...how boring... all to do with physical well being or more truthful "not well being".  Can I find something a little less boring.  Well I do have a male friend in my life..so that's a help...we are going to do something together...well yeah there is that, but the new "that" will be ART...what and how we will get into that is something that we are going to try on this side of eighty five.

I've bought some water color art supplies, and acrylic..now where does one go from here.  ...Stay tuned.
