17, 2013 Rosenfeld News by Tina Wolfe
It’s a beautiful sunny morning on
this Tues. Dec. 17 and I have no reason to wander outside to feel the true
temperature. I wouldn’t have minded going outdoors a bit yesterday when we hit
a balmy -2 but I enjoyed puzzling instead.
Many people around here are down
with the stomach flu. It starts off with a feeling of cramps in the lower
abdominal area which get more and more painful. It feels as though someone has
taken an air hose, attached it into your belly button and filled up your lower
intestine. Just when you feel like bursting, out it comes and you better be
close to a bathroom. How do I know? Well, I’ve just experienced this episode.
I’m one of the lucky ones; mine only lasted one night and only one day with no
food. Family brought noodle soup the second day which stayed in and didn’t
produce any more cramping. Some people are down for a whole week.
Hockey
update
It’s good to report that Simon
Schroeder is on the ice again. I’m sure his team mates had missed him; he’s a
very good defenseman. Conner Winter has been out for a week with that horrible
stomach flu that I just described. Let’s hope he recovers soon and gets his
strength back.
Progress
report
My legs are continuing to get
stronger and I’ve increased my exercises to include some muscle building in my
quads. You normal people have no idea how much you take for granted like how to
get up from a chair. I watch Dave and need to practice where to place my feet
and how to lean forward. I can get up but at this point I still tend to lift my
body with my arms. Now I’m to the point where I need to unlearn this and let my
legs take over. My knees are bending a bit more with a lot of stretching
everyday but I’m still not to the riding bike stage. Soon I will have Dave
bring up the stationary bike and see what I can do. We continue to have great
community support and for that we are extremely thankful.
