A'm all tuckered out

At any age people should pay attention (listen) to their body. Not enough people do this. Soreness usually means sore muscles. Weakness means to me that I have depleted my energy.

Now I'm not a doctor, and I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong, but, I think you should rest and recoup your energy.

Roger--

I'm with AE--rest, recoup and rebound.

Could you be fighting off some sort of infection?

I would consult with my doctor. Just riding a bike shouldn't make you feel that way.

How's your diet and water intake?

Fine. Why do you ask?

Because I care Gus....because....

I care.

I'm going outside to cry now.

Excuse me.

I've noticed, especially when taking my meds post stroke, that the diuretic to counter-act some of the effects of the blood pressure meds makes me have to get up often in the middle of the night to pee. After doing so I usually feel tired and go right back to bed. Should I take up bike riding?

Water intake is good. Diet is kind of so-so. Paying attention to the carbs on account of the diabetes, but not a low carb diet. Anyway, weight is stable and towards the low end of the overweight range. I'm not starving, and don't let myself get famished.

Please don't say more leafy green vegetables.

I don't think I'm dealing with any sort of infection, Noddy. When I start coming down with something, I tend to oversleep in the morning and feel rundown. This is more a weak or rubbery feeling in the legs - like I would expect when just getting off the bike.

Diane would be pissed to see that bike in the bed.

Nah, she got over finding the platypus in bed. I don't think she would mind finding a bike. Probably just tell me to pedal my ass somewhere else.

Let's call the whole thing off.

I do not believe there has been a platypus in any of your beds!




Oy, my leggies did get all sore and such when I overdid the walking thing when I began walking to work...




Mebbe introduce it a little slower?

You haul your ashes Gus, I'll haul mine.

Actually, I was just about to do that very thing.

Hang on, Dys. I'm still working my way through your first paragraph. That sounds like my blood pressure medication (Hyzaar), but I don't think I'm within a country mile of being dehydrated - just in case that's where you're going with this.

That might be all it is, Deb, as I went through the same thing when I started walking a couple of years ago. There were days when I had to count cadence and force one foot in front of the other. I had sore feet and legs after walking a route about a third of what I walk now. So, I'm hoping it's the same kind of thing, and I can just push my way through it.

There. I think dlowan has pretty well defined my question.
