Yes you are correct - I cannot wait until exercise is once again something that I can do - right now the condition is so severe that when I try to do more that a short 10 or 15 minute walk I pay a heavy price - but I do go for these short walks every day and a couple of them is about what I can handle right now. I am not used to being inactive - I worked for years as a gardener and all around handy woman and always loved to go hiking and swimming on a daily basis. I hope soon I will be going over to the health club for a swim and some physical therapy. Fortunately the pool there is not heavily chlorinated. I prefer to swim in a river or the ocean though.
