IMPATIENTLY PATIENT

IMPATIENTLY PATIENT

Recovering from a traumatic brain injury is beyond my scope of expertise.  I understand muscles, ligaments and joints not brain waves, eye, brain and inner ear connections.  things just don’t seem to be quite right.   feel like I’m walking on a boat all the time.  That is a bit unnerving.  I cannot look up […]

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DO

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DO

I kept saying “there’s no magic to eating”.  But, yes there actually is.  Players mention, all the time, things like I’m getting weaker on the court, I’m putting on weight or I broke a bone when I fell.  Basically, you are what you eat.  Let’s talk about metabolism or how the body burn calories.  Players […]

WHAT’S AN APP?

WHAT’S AN APP?

Do you live on your phone or not even turn it on?  Some of my friends (older like me) wouldn’t think of using their phones unless they were out of town.  They know how to turn it on but I’m not sure they know how to answer a call.    Doing FaceTime is out of the […]

ESSENTIAL 5 MINUTE PICKLEBALL WARMUP

ESSENTIAL 5 MINUTE PICKLEBALL WARMUP

To prevent Pickleball injuries and come to the court ready to play, do these exercises to warm up your muscles. Most players don’t think this of of value until something happens to them.  Once you understand the importance of warming up, you are much more open to doing exercises. Cool down exercises consist of static […]

ARE YOU BREATHING…CORRECTLY?

ARE YOU BREATHING…CORRECTLY?

Did you know there’s a correct way to breathe?  Breathing comes from expansion and contraction of the rib cage not raising the shoulders.  If your posture is not good, say, when your shoulders are rolled forward and your arms hang from your chest, not your back, your back muscles no longer work. When your back […]

ARE YOU OVERWHELMED?

I thought the world was going faster because I could no longer keep up. Not true. The world is going along about the same but I’m slowing down. I’m not even sure if this sneaks up on you or just hits you in the face all at once. I’m the working retired.  I do a […]

SCIATICA

SCIATICA

Seems like everyone I know has some form of sciatica. No one knows what that means except it hurts like crazy and interrupts their life. Doctors like to give shots and pills. These mask the symptoms but don’t work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

My birthday was a few days ago. I didn’t plan a party this year. I really didn’t plan anything nor did I feel like doing anything. Actually, I ran a 5k and won my age group. Took a really nice picture as a memory.
