Well that give you time to 'kick-back' relax and read a good book...or watch a good movie on Youtube. Load of good clean full length movies on there. :)

 

[Grams]

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes I did watch a movie.....but you cant believe , how much there is to clean up.

 

[Helen]

I can imagine with a family of that size!! Wow.
How is your health?
I have slowed down a lot... ..my health issues "come and go" ...so good days and bad days....

 

[Grams]

I am fine Helen , except at night [sleeping]I do not move around and my circulation in my legs
wakes me up I have to get up and walk around, it hurts I thought I was taking the correct
vitamins for this but I guess not... I guess living here I do not do all that I once did....

 

[Helen]

I used to get rally bad cramp at night..having to leap out of bed!

My doctor said it was for bad circulation. He advised that just before I put my light out...to lay on my back and move my legs up and down bending my knees as if I was running. I do 150 of them every night before sleeping..and it does the trick...I very rarely have to jump out of bed with cramping. :)

 

[Grams]

Thank you very much ! :) I was wondering if there was a place in this forum to ask for
help ! This sounds good.... How many did you start out with ?

 

[Grams]

I was way more active in my younger day's...... and I even took our dog's for walks ..
So the children were free to play and do there things.......

 

[Helen]

Thank you very much ! :) I was wondering if there was a place in this forum to ask for
help ! This sounds good.... How many did you start out with ?

I only did a few...
I had surgery and they made he jiggle my legs around after surgery every hour so I did get blood clots.

Then a few years later the doctor told me to do that.
I was having to jump out of bed so often in the nights.

It worked!! I never drop to sleep now without counting 150 of them.
I also think it helps me to drop asleep...
Now the miracle would be if I didn't wake up until morning ...but I have to get out at night about 4 times.. to stagger to the bathroom. Very annoying.

 

[Grams]

OH ! Thank You again............!!!!!!

That is all that is going on for me now........ it sounds the same :)

 

[Helen]

OH ! Thank You again............!!!!!!

That is all that is going on for me now........ it sounds the same :)

It works for me...I pray that it will also work for you too!
Let me know. :)

 

[Helen]

Im off to bed now Marlene ...I really trust and pray that you have abetter night.
Take care...Bless you....Helen.

 

[Grams]

Good Night Helen ................

Hope you have a great night and a Very Good Morning.....:)

 

[Helen]

Well , so much for my good night...I hope that yours is going better than mine.
I dropped off at 11pm and awake again now.
I lay there for a while, hoping to sleep again...but to no avail...So I grabbed my iPad.
Praise God for iPads in the night!
I will try again now.and see if I can sleep.

 

[Grams]

Sorry Helen, I did well and I thought the family would sleep in but they were up also.
I guess the day was easer for them then the other day, no one was up when I was.
before 6, and that is the time that my son is about ready for going to work.
So finally after 7:30 they started to get up........ today we were all about the same.
But , last night we all stayed up later then normal and I forgot to do that before going
to sleep..... I hope I remember tonight......

So I hope you catch up and feel better , maybe you can get a nap in ?

 

[Grams]

Helen I was just thinking we have a lot in common ! [sorry!]
I have also had that problem now since my hubby passed away. One hour after falling
asleep , wake up and lay there for half hour up to 2 and a half hours.. And this happens
more during the night..... 1- 3 times.

 

[Helen]

I agree, my brother has it too...and my hubby as well. Yes it is all part of the aging thing.
When I think back, my grandma used to sit in her chair and most of the time was dozing. I guess she didn't sleep much at night either!!

I can't sleep in the day time...I have tried napping, but it never works for me.
My hubby can lay and snore loudly for three hours in the day...but he doesn't ever sleep through the night.

I can't remember when I slept right through haha!!
I was probably 30 when that last happened !

 

[Grams]

Wow are we lucky ? ;)

I guess I did not sleep well at all last night.......... after breakfast I took a nap and my
daughter in law had to wake me they were on there way to baseball. It was to late for
me to get ready.... so I'm home alone again... There is baseball every day, and when that's
done foot ball will begin.... [have no idea what time they will be back.]
My son left with some ? at 10:00 cant remember which boys, and my D.I.N. left at 12:00
So what for supper ? How was your lunch ?

 

[Helen]

Hi @Grams
Today I was at my grand daughters Bridle Shower.
I was very naughty, and went straight for the sweet stuff!!
I ate about 6 desserts!!

It was fun seeing everyone again and catching up with old friends.

I sure hope that we both sleep better tonight. Don't forget to exercise your legs for as long as you can. :)

 

[Grams]

Hope you had a good time !
Oh , that is so nice to see them isn't it ?

Oh ,,,, thanks :) I all ready for got that, so I put stuff on the bed to remind me.

Sure hope you slept well after all that sugar .................. we no longer use sugar. and
white flour and a lot of other stuff...

Oh yes, I agree about sugar. I try to cut it out...but my downfall is chocolate..
If I never touch it or smell it I am okay...but if I say to myself.." I will just have one square.." I am done for...I'm then hooked for some days until I can ween myself off it again.

I don't like white flour and don't have any in the house.
