That was total. 12K there. I had a nice lunch and a relaxing low impact massage with this really interesting foot massage device that you stand on. It has dimples and vibrates which increases circulation. Really is an amazing machine. Then 12K back. The ride is usually about 6K but I took the long relaxing route. I love cycling.

Man..at the rate you are going you could almost cycle to Kitchener. laugh


Hmmmm...I could if I had all weekend. I biked to Orangeville a few times but a stay overnight at an old high school friends of mine.

its only 45mins by car...isn't it?


45 min to an hour. Not all that far really. Like Steven Wright says, "Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time."

And one of your machines.laugh

OMG Mary. RA and Fibromyalgia. That is terrible. I have been helping a young friend who is only 37 and she was being treated for Lyme but now the doctor is not sure what she has. She is in terrible chronic pain so I can understand a little what you must be going through.
My friend is fortunate that she is seeing one of the best doctors in Canada. My sister-in-law is a nurse and worked with this Doctor in Montreal and she says he is as good as it gets.
It breaks my heart. I hope you have good care and support. Small comfort but important.

Thank you Chris. I was first dianosed when I was 21 so I have not known a day in my whole adult life without pain. As you get to know me, you will come to see how stubborn and strong willed I am. I WILL NOT let this get me down. Oh I have my pity party days, but mostly, I just keep on going. I went 2 years what doctors told me for a hip replacement because I wanted to finish college first....laugh Life is too short, ya know? I do miss dancing tho...used to love to power walk too, was addicted to it, now after hip and foot surgery I can no longer do them. Oh well... now I just sit around getting rounder from lack of exercise and meds...which dosn't help....I know, I know!

This is sort of long.

Wow, I do understand about strength. I have seen my friend be so strong. You both (and many others) amaze me that you keep fighting in the face of adversity. I hurt my back years ago and allowed myself to get out of shape. I was very active but let the body go. So while experiencing my friends pain vicariously through her, I wrecked my car (I was fine) and since then i walk, bus or ride my bike. I am feeling amazing now but i did live 10 years in pain. NO WAY it compares to you nor to Lisa but I have a very small understanding. This is why I now try to take care of myself and stay active.

People like you inspire me. One more note, even though I see her regularly, I have kept every single email where she talks about her pain. This way there is a record of her struggle and I plan on writing about her experience but not sure yet in what context exactly. So earlier today, Deb (kidztales I think) friended me on Mingle and asked me if I was interested in learning more about writing since my profile says i am "an aspiring writer." I gladly accepted by sending her a very long email explaining where I was in relation to writing.

So in conclusion, maybe there is a reason I have connected specifically with this group. I feel real love here something I have been seeking for sometime. Not relationship love but true neighborly love.

You are probably referring to "Aielli Ristorante" which has won awards. I have never been. I spend most of my time in Port Credit and visit restaurants on Bloor St in Etocicoke (west toronto).

All of us on Topicless feel the same way. We feel like family and are there for each other through all of our tears and cheers. I am glad that you found us all and can feel the love that we have for each other...our hearts always have room to allow others in to the little family that we have here :heart:

PS....nothing happens by accident!
