ended up doing more gardening today because it was cooler and cloudy, much easier to get things done then. its a microclimate area where our garden sits, and it gets very warm there.
congrats on getting in some walking. the older you are, the more likely you are assumed to be a total coach potato. many people are completely inactive, so the assumption is you cant do much. we all are used to exercising. if you pay attention to how you feel during and after, you will be ok.
i agree with shannon, decent jeans or pants and a Tshirt is fine for jury duty. most of the people called in are dismissed anyway and only a few selected. I always assume the AC might be set to 60 so unless you know better, wear something with sleeves.
i think we are almost certainly changing dental offices and have a young guy picked out close by that our friends use. no worries about him retiring on us! this will possibly change if she identified some real problems.
depending on your shower set up , a cheapie plastic $5 outdoor chair might work. i used one recovering from back surgery and from the pacer surgery. our shower is a plain shower , not in a tub. . plenty of room for the chair and the hand held sprayer. DH set the water temp so i would not get blasted with ice cold water to start. i could sit and safely wash off. worked way better than a walker. I set the walker right outside the shower so i could move out safely. no tub so nothing much to step over. with both surgeries i had to be sure I didn't blast the surgical site with a powerful direct shower spray. the chair made it easier to wash my hair etc. when my mobility was limited. you can buy $$special medical chairs for use in a shower but we already had cheapie outdoor chairs that worked fine, plus now they are back outside on the deck. our outdoor furniture is smaller inexpensive chairs. if i slide into a fancy adirondack chair, i will never get out.
