Hi, LG. Yep, he went to Dr. Tues. Got anti-inflammatory for 14 days & check again. He is missing the Achilles tendon reflex in R ankle. Strange. It used to be his L leg that was affected. If he isn't a whole lot better, an MRI will be next.
The day you mentioned people w/back problems being crabby, I read the exact same thing in the Berkely Wellness Letter. It is one of the better newsletters available. I used to use it to put current facts in fitness center newsletters. Nutrition Action is always interesting also.
Next step? There isn't one. Either he gets healthy & can do fun stuff or not. Including, btw, ML. Bad backs make good excuses. Supposedly he has some libido at least, and supposedly he gets how I feel. He says he enjoys ML. Doesn't talk during, doesn't talk about, but he probably never will. What I am dealing with, that he evidently doesn't care about or doesn't have enuf initiative to do much about, is whether I/we can still look forward to a pleasant, even fun, future. Or whether there isn't much to look forward to except going downhill. That'll pretty much kill me. Of course, I can have fun doing stuff I enjoy, horses, swimming, golf for example, but it isn't a lot of fun doing that stuff alone. Yeah, made friends at the stable, etc. but not the same as us doing fun things together. I mean being active, not the damn everlasting TV, grocery shopping, yard work.
I'm kinda past the expiration date for divorcing & looking to find Prince Charming. Lots of guys my age are in worse shape than my H. Most of his health problems are fixable if he wants to do the homework so to speak. Time to close up this pop stand. L8R, Jayce
