Just Xmas is fine
I know what you mean about getting your feet in your stockings .... It's a
bitch to get shoes and sock on sometimes. The most pressure I put on my back
since surgery is clipping my toe nails. I put it off until I just can't any
more.
My back isn't as much of an issue these days though. It's the beer belly. I
hate it. Have to get out there and walk some more.
