I am not much of a spring chicken myself…

Thought I'd feel better if I took a walk.... did fifty feet and had to go lay down...

I walk about a mile a day myself, on average….

new studies are showing that walking around one or two miles a day is great if you're 70 or over but walking anymore than that actually increases the aging process. Now doctors are saying when you get older it's more important to work your muscles out so you can remain ambulatory. Fortunately I have weights at home and I work out frequently. Working your muscles out also keep your bone density where it needs to be. A lot of old people fall down because they can't stand up. Why can't they stand up? Lack of exercise has made them weak. Some people think when they get old it means they just don't do any damn thing. If you think that way you are sentencing yourself to death.

That’s concerning, Pete. You should probably call your doctor. You might need to eat some bananas and pineapple. Often times blood pressure meds will cause your potassium to decrease which will result in BP fluctuations. Don’t try to do too much. It’s not good to exert yourself when your BP is down as you could pass out.

Hope you get better quickly.

Yep, when my BP drops, I eat bananas to get some potassium in me.

Well old boy... You have to stay alive for that to happen. I was talking to Sally about this the other day. I told her the forums all come to an end when/if Pete kicks the bucket.
 So if you stay alive we can probably hit two million posts.
 It's on YOU!
