I'm afraid I need a Chaz for myself. This medication is known for it's weight-gaining propensities, and like you, I'm not getting my old exercise. At the moment I am pretty much pain free in my relaxed state, and I'm walking fairly well for short distances of even a few blocks, but I've put on 20 pounds in less than 4 months!
Since I'm highly unlikely to find a "Chaz" for myself, and I've reached the point where I really do hate cooking, I think I need to find some other solution. I've wondered about those weight loss plans where they provide the counted calories all frozen and packed in nice little dishes. Is there a good one?
I'm currently re-considering moving back to S Hadley. There's a nice retirement home only a few miles from the college. It costs a lot, but meals can be provided, and it can graduate to continuing care if needed.
It's interesting to see life change so much in just a few years. I did not consider a senior community when I retired because I felt that I needed to be available here to Teresa and the kids, but they don't need me anymore, and I'm re-thinging my plans.
