BRENDA, how're you doing? Better, I hope? I know how it feels to be kind of mired in place. I know I can't help directly, but if you want to just vent, I'm here to listen.
Hey KIKI I hope you had fun!

I am slowly feeling a little better. Once the week starts again. Yeah, I know I can vent here and I will have a little vent at my chiropractor this week when I go.

Well, the people who installed the fire system were here to check it today. Along the way they caused an issue with the elevators and never bothered to make any sort of announcement. I found out when I got in to the building and wanted to use the elevators. THEN they decide to let people know that they elevators weren't working. So I had to walk up 10 flights of stairs. Was going to take the garbage out but not after I did that. I've been home an hour now and I just heard an announcement that they had fixed the elevators. Well, whoopdeedoo!!. I am not doing anymore chores after that episode.
Morons!

Well, I decided to take the garbage down anyways after supper. Needed to get done.
Also started watching "Ad Astra". Not sure about this one. Will make up my mind once I watch more of it.

I read this post while waiting in the car for someone and didn't have a chance to reply but, seriously ... they take the elevators out and don't tell anyone ahead of time???
Oh! We just watched Ad Astra a week ago. Let me know what you decide.

Yup and this building has a lot of seniors and people who are disabled. They looked around while I stood there for a minute then I thought I am not waiting on these idiots and walked up the stairs. Huffing and puffing and complaining.
I did decide to get the garbage out after supper.
I watched the first hour of it SIG and I am not sure. It is sooo slow moving. As much as I love Brad Pitt this doesn't seem to be one of his better ideas for work.
Out for my walk.

Brenda, I ran across this and thought of you. It reminded me that years ago, I'd read elsewhere that stretching does improve blood flow. This may be the first time it's been documented for passive stretch. If you could do some GENTLE static leg stretches, you might improve circulation in your legs which might help with the leg-muscle cramping you have.

Leg stretching exercises were associated with improved vascular function, researchers reported in a small study.
This study involved passive stretching. Generally, a passive stretch is if someone moves your body parts for you into a stretched position and holds them there. But the same is true (as I've read) for static stretching. A static stretch is if you move your body parts into a stretched position yourself and hold them there.
Here are some examples of passive and static versions of leg stretches: https://www.trueap.com/flyers/1/BegStatPass.pdf
It's important that you're GENTLE with your efforts, since nobody wants to do any damage!
Many years ago I did passive post-op range of motion stretching for a relative who was in a serious accident and needed surgery, including replacing a joint with a metal version. After initially watching 3 different therapists do the routine (which was so aggressive and painful with the first 2 it involved serious extra hits of morphine ahead of time) I discovered with the third therapist you can get just as good a results by EASING into a good stretch in minor, non-painful increments, over time. GENTLE is good!
That old mantra 'no pain, no gain'? Twaddle!

I do stretching in while lying in my bed either before I go to sleep or when I first wake up in the morning. Both I do slowly, stretching my back, legs and arms. If I feel pain anywhere I stop and relax then maybe try again. Been doing it for years.
