NOV 5, 22 .. AN ODD SURPRISE FOR ME .. FATIGUE .. GETTING OLD ..

Here I am, yet again, Wandering The Streets of My Mind !!

Bottom Line : This post is for me to get-in-touch-with-me !!

For What It’s Worth, many times (dating back to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic) I have written here of the fatigue issue that I have associated, more or less, totally with Covid-19. For What It’s Worth, my observations have been spot-on-accurate. I have indeed experienced long Covid Fatigue.

Then the fatigue lifted back in early October. On October the 20th I posted the below words..

I AM FEELING ABSOLUTELY,

ON-TOP-OF-THE-WORLD,

WONDERFUL !!

October the 25th I wrote the following ..

I can no longer accurately blame any future fatigue on my past Covid-19 history.

Accepance IS the answer. 

I am free to accept the fact that, at age 86 years, I am not ever going to be as well as I was ten or twenty or thirty years ago.

From time-to-time, I go back and peruse long ago posts here on dotnet.

Now come along with me back as I was perusing some 2013 posts to, hold on, are you ready, nine years ago and counting to April Fools Day the 1st of April 2013 ..

On April 1st, 2013, I wrote in the above post the following words ..

Can It / Can This Possibly Be ..

I must be ‘getting old’!

One short year ago .. in Pondicherry .. at MOTHERS GUEST HOUSE .. I could .. (well I think that I could .. it seems to me that I did .. could it possibly be that I mis-remembered this?) .. ‘steam-up-the-steps’ with-great-gusto to my room from the street level in one-fell-swoop with nary-a-pause!

51 steps up a total of four flights of steps.  16 steps and turn 180-degrees-right and 16 more steps into the lobby.   Then through the lobby to 10 steps and a final 9 steps.

NOT THIS YEAR.  In fact I often found myself ‘pausing’ in 8 step-intervals when going up the first 32 steps.  THEN sitting down in the lobby to rest before finishing up the final 19 steps.

So I was feeling less than 100% of my former self way back nine or so years ago !! When I was only age 77 years !!

And Accepance IS the answer. 

What’s happening here is simple : I have fallen a bit from the giddy mountain top I found myself upon when I wrote on October the 20th the below words  ..

I AM FEELING ABSOLUTELY,

ON-TOP-OF-THE-WORLD,

WONDERFUL !!

This post helps me to get in touch with the fact that I’m not ever going to be what I think I used to be when on April 1st 2013 I was already recognizing this fact.

Smiling .. Cap

Patti is smiling with me ..
