I have been recognized as one of the regular users of the warm water therapy pool. This isn't something I had not expected would happen. I have been going there for myself. I am not trying https://rons-home.net/en/blog/read/3521 2026-09-02 12:20:00+00 https://rons-home.net/en/blog/read/3520 The next task I need to tackle is completing my 2023, 2024 and 2025 income tax returns. The physical marathon and pain from when my artificial hips began to malfunction at the end of 2023 is why I haven't got to my income taxes before now.

This is a planned annual closure for preventative maintenance.

It hasn't let up over the past week. The pain keeps making me feel like I am going to vomit. When the pain is really bad I can't tell which way is up from being dizzy.
