Reflections From Sunny Florida

I hope everyone had an uneventful and healthy Christmas! Pattie and I didn't post yesterday. We were flying down to visit her family in Tampa, Florida. When we left it was 5 degrees in the Twin Cities and it was 82 degrees when we arrived here yesterday afternoon. We will be visiting several health care facilities while we are here in Florida, including Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I have written about my bone pain, resulting from damage done by my multiple myeloma before it was diagnosed and controlled last year. The "holes in my bones" are partially repaired. But I have been experiencing more bone pain than in the recent past, especially with the onset of cold weather this fall. One of the reasons I was excited about visiting Florida was to test and see if warmer weather helped me feel better. It does! There is a quantifiable improvement in my flexibility and ability to move and exercise with less pain. The improvement was almost instantaneous. I have already been able to cut back my pain meds. Not sure improvement is reason enough to relocate, but we are considering it. I will post more about this later in my trip.
Warm or not, I hope all of you feel good and keep smiling! Pat
