I could not go out.

I had hoped to be strong enough to go to the drugstore and to the dentist today. But I started to make the chicken in mushroom sauce and all of a sudden my legs gave in so that I had to go and lie down for a while. Still, the chicken in 2 steps came out wonderful. And Leticia made the rice for the side.
I then realized that I had to wait a bit more before I started to walk.
This evening then I will "do" my nails. Now that my fingers tremble, my nails are done in a better way. I wait until one finger dries before I paint another.
And later, friends, I´ll watch TV. I´m eating a lot better and that will help too.

I feel like maybe your blood sugar was low. I hope you are building strength back up. Love the idea of chicken in mushroom sauce. You make such good food.

I´m eating now real food and it is delicious. I won´t use pepper for a long time though.

@marguicha - Better to avoid pepper, but real food will be the best medicine to get strong again.

@marguicha My balance has gone to pot the last month or so. I don't know what's going on really.

Sounds like things are going well. Rest when you need to. You don't want to over do.

I'm glad you didn't start walking to the store before you found out you couldn't stand/walk far. That could have been a disaster. 
Yes, the better diet will help.

I know it that I have to take it one step at a time. And I´m eating much better.

Eating will get our energy back for sure, I hope your legs hold you up better. I find that I must carefully get up from my PC chair in case my right knee gives out,

I think you eating better is a good thing Marga.
Your strength will return , but Rome wasn't built in a day.
Take your time,

You sound just like Yvonne did when she came home from.hospital in Feb 2023 , unable to walk or do anything as she was so weak.
She said the same sort of things as you just said, and you know what, she was right and I think it actually helped her get better.
So do what you can, maybe a little bit more every day if and when you can.
But if you can't, please don't force the issue.

@Ineeddentures I won´t force it. But I´m eating more each day and that helps.
