My Story
I love going to CURVES. It is a get away for me - my time for me. I do my best to go 3 times a week. I am a caregiver. My mom is 93 in pretty darn good health and she has lived with me for the past 10 years. I am 71. We are both retired. Some days are pretty busy, what with dr. appointments, then pharmacy, then therapy. Mom walks with a rolling walker at home and goes in a wheel chair when we are out. I work at keeping life interesting for her. I have lots of flowers and bring in fresh ones for a little vase every day
that sits on her chair side table. She uses a lift chair and is mobile in the house. I have to keep after her to do the exercise the therapist gives her , fix all meals and try to keep them interesting. So you can see why CURVES is special to me. My social security isn't the best paycheck and my insurance allows me to be in silver sneakers so that puts me in a catagory that I don't have to pay, which is really wonderful.
I also have a garden and we put food in the freezer as things get ready to harvest. Mom is on life line thru the hospital.
If you are in the same situation as I am, come to CURVES. You'll make new friends, and you'll love the instructors. One of ours is going to have a baby and there is a shower coming up for her. It is really a great place to release tensions and stress.
Come join us at Market Square. Looking forward to making new friends
