Mom is hurting a lot today. She is really stiff. Her back hurts, her legs hurt, her arm hurts. I can tell by how she is walking that she is in pain. It is taking lots of effort for her to get up out of her chair today. She is wincing. Her pain is much more noticeable than usual.
I wonder if the change in weather has anything to do with her pain and/or stiffness? Although the weather is still really nice today (70's), it's very windy and there is rain in the forecast for tonight. Does the impending rain influence Mom's aches and pains? Or is it just random?
I have told Mom to take a Tylenol for the pain, but she will not. Can you say "stubborn"?
The interesting thing is that in a couple of hours, once Mom arrives at Bingo, her pain will miraculously be gone. Mom always says that no matter how much she is hurting, once she gets to Bingo and is concentrating on something else, she doesn't notice the pain. She walks around freely and is fine for those couple of hours.
I'm really glad to know that Mom will enjoy herself at Bingo tonight and will be "pain free" for a couple of hours. That'll be good for her.
And good for me, too. I sooooooooooooo look forward to Mom's Bingo nights! ;-)

yes, the weather impacts aches and pains.. it's just one reason so many folks retire to FL and AZ. I'm not totally sure, but I think it may be due to the pressure changes that occur w/ a storm front.
