Mornings are difficult to start then I get going strong then about 3 I get a second breath and I’m good for awhile. Most of the time I force myself to keep moving or I get nothing done. So hard for me to just rest. I get antsy and agitated 😣 right now after my knee surgery if I work to long my heels start a terrible pain like bone spurs and make it difficult to walk. I start hurting up in my lower back. I walk like an old lady. At that point I have to stop I’m done.😥
