I totally agree about keeping limber and doing all that you can, but now and then, having help so you are at peace with your home is important. Take care of yourself!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-83785025808762418442017-11-27T21:03:29.573-08:002017-11-27T21:03:29.573-08:00I wonder if you should get checked by a doc.

A week is a long time to have those symptoms.<br /><br />I'll admit it - I've had a person help with cleaning our house ever since I had 7 vertebrae in my spine fused. We tried having my husband do it, and I'd supervise but that would have ended our marriage if we'd kept it up. So, I hired a local woman, a wonderful woman, who has cleaned our house for more than 2 decades. She's like part of the family now. She probably isn't the most thorough cleaner ever but I trust her and I like having her around the house (she comes every 2 weeks). It makes a world of difference to me. Most cleaning activities leave my back in total spasm.<br /><br />We are considering getting a Roomba to vacuum dog fur between her visits. Vacuuming quite simply hurts me... so a Roomba would save a lot of wear and tear.<br /><br />I hope that you figure it out and that you feel better very very soon. Your pups look wonderful. I love that you have a black dog, just like we do. They are fantastic!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-39154783450884996932017-11-27T15:34:23.019-08:002017-11-27T15:34:23.019-08:00I've never had anyone clean my house.

I do use a Roomba to clean the floors. It's very helpful and works quite well. I can't push a vacuum around and the broom doesn't get the floors as clean as I want. Anyway, I understand that it's difficult. I hope you feel better soon.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-90995685582320939102017-11-27T12:08:54.000-08:002017-11-27T12:08:54.000-08:00Julia said it for me too.

About the housekeeper, I say go for it. I am thinking about getting one myself. I have only had one once in my life and it was the best of times. Such a relief.

We recently hired someone to come in once monthly to do the heavy cleaning. It’s money well spent. I still do the outside stuff myself (mowing the lawn, etc). Will probably keep doing it for as long as I am able.

It is probably something minor and the doctor might be able to give or suggest something to give you energy. Then I would call a house cleaner and have them come before and after your company visits. You don’t have to have them on a regular schedule, just from time to time when you need them. I have to admit that I don’t like people cleaning my home either but every now and then it would be OK.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-63666327717396679302017-11-27T10:26:41.247-08:002017-11-27T10:26:41.247-08:00I am so sorry you are feeeling not so well.

Please don't put your house ahead of your health. Take care of yourself and let someone clean your house for you. They do it because they enjoy cleaning houses. <br /><br />Please let us know you're on the mend.<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-30044399207514736392017-11-26T17:20:34.819-08:002017-11-26T17:20:34.819-08:00I, like many of your friends, have someone come in...I, like many of your friends, have someone come in and clean the house. I'm sure that there is no shortage of other "exercise" you can get -- and having help is a godsend for me. I have someone every two weeks -- we can keep the house clean in between. Consider it... get someone you are comfortable with in your house and who you trust. We've used the same woman for over four years, since we move in, and she has become a friend. Save your energy for fun stuff -- like Faith and Samson.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-39798730883998189412017-11-26T16:04:45.279-08:002017-11-26T16:04:45.279-08:00I know that feeling so well.
